The Osaka Evessa enter a new era with two new big men patrolling the middle.
Former NBA center/power forward Josh Harrellson has been signed to play for the Kansai club for the upcoming campaign, the three-time bj-league champion announced on Monday.
Earlier this month, Osaka also secured the services of 210-cm Xavier Gibson, whose all-around skills made a profound impact for the Shinshu Brave Warriors last season, averaging 22.1 points (seventh-best total in the now-disbanded bj-league) and 2.5 blocks (No. 1 in the 24-team circuit).
