Kenny Satterfield believes the rebuilding Saitama Broncos took a big step forward by adding center George Leach to the mix last month.
Now, four games into Leach's tenure with the Broncos, coach Bob Nash's club has a more balanced, effective rotation in place, which was evident in their 98-82 victory over the Akita Northern Happinets on Sunday in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture.
Leach, an Indiana University product and one of the most talented centers in bj-league history, had his best game to date this season, finishing with 12 points, seven blocks, five rebounds and three assists in 23-plus minutes in the team's last game, only his third of the season.
