The Japan men's national basketball team certainly wants to change its low credit rating on the international stage. It may not happen right away, but some unique talent makes it possible in the future.
Japan revealed its 27-man provisional roster for its six training camps for the FIBA Asia Championship on Monday. Following the announcement, the team entered the first day of camp at the National Training Center in Tokyo's Kita Ward.
Yuki Togashi and Yuta Watanabe, who have both played overseas, and star veteran Yuta Tabuse headline the squad, which also includes Meisei High School phenom Rui Hachimura.
