If you feel your player should be added to this list, feel free to contact me as i will tell you why i chose not to invite them, or i might simply have overlook him.

From this list I will am to choose players based on several characteristics.

1) The best start and backup for all 5 positions (with a slight biased to playing/defending look inside).

2) A group of 3 "wildcard" type mulit-usage players to insure against injury.

3) The best 2/3 under 26 players worth NT mins.

I would love to have time to explain to everyone what they need, but before we get to that, i will first establish a depth chart.

Look forward to further posts.

The is food for thought for everyone in the BB Japan community


Rank for PG, SG, SF, PF, and C the importance of

JS JR OD Han Dr Pass IS ID Reb and SB on a scale from 1 - 5.

I have my own system, but looking for feedback.

for NT I would think SB matters, since as coach you don't care about salary obviousy...

Dude... that's a lil' inane. Reality-check: because salary matters greatly to the vast majority of owners he's dealing with, and it's a small nation... therefore it HAS to matter to him. SB can be pumped, but it will have to come at the expense of something else.

Hey... at the moment, I can't really do a ranking - I'm beginning to write an IB curriculum, so kinda... busy-ish.

Would like to hear what you thought of the game we lost on Monday night... still not sure why we didn't walk away with the "W" - only a scrimmage, but your thoughts would be welcome.

No game is going to be easy with 1 enthusiam. after BB KING fired all the players, that is surely what we had. Even the U-21 team had 1 enthusiam.

And Asano was in contract talks with his new shoe sponsor. He went with Addidas. So he was in Germany signing the 10 million $ deal. They said screw D. Rose.....they know Asano won't take the year off!!
