OSAKA — Shimane Susanoo Magic point guard Takumi Ishizaki has made a terrific impression in his short time in the bj-league.
This was only enhanced by his stellar play in the 2010-11 All-Star Game at Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium, where he helped lead the Western Conference to a come-from-behind 110-109 win over the Eastern Conference.
Ishizaki, the West's starting point guard, scored 11 points, dished out nine assists and turned the ball over only twice. A former JBL player, Ishizaki became the first active bj-league player to play on the national team when he competed in the Asian Games last fall.
