Another season, another team for Julius Ashby.

The veteran big man will suit up for his fifth bj-league squad, the Rizing Fukuoka, after playing for the Shiga Lakestars last season. He patrolled the middle for the Niigata Albirex BB in 2010-11, and collected paychecks from the Tokyo Apache and Takamatsu Five Arrows before that.

Ashby personifies the revolving door policy in place around the league — here today, gone tomorrow — that's the norm.
