While the Chiba Jets Funabashi are loaded with a roster filled with talented players, the team is built around a diminutive point guard: Yuki Togashi.
His performance on the court in Game 2 of the B. League Championship semifinals against the Tochigi Brex was a clear example. The 167-cm, who was had held to seven points and five assists in Game 1, scored a game-high 21 points and dished out eight assists to help the Jets complete a sweep of their East Division rival and earn a spot in the league title game for the second consecutive year.
While Togashi has provided much joy and excitement for Jets fans, he has also impressed his former coach from the United States with his own development as a player.
