Finishing last season and retiring, I’ve had time to think about opportunities after playing. After leaving the court as a player, I never thought that my journey would come back here. This is where my experience with Japanese basketball began! I would like to thank the Kings organization for the opportunity to help continue the many years of winning and success. I am also looking forward to the opportunity to learn from some of the best. Go Kings!
