Yudai Baba is Southern Hemisphere-bound, but he hasn’t abandoned his North American aspirations.
One day after the announcement that he had signed with the Melbourne United of Australia’s National Basketball League, Baba expressed excitement Monday about his new challenge playing in another foreign league this upcoming season.
“I’m happy to have signed with Melbourne United,” Baba said in English before switching to Japanese for the remainder of a news conference at the Japan Basketball Association office. “I’m excited to be part of this team and looking forward to playing in Australia.”
