Yokohama ¨C Teenage sensation Yuki Kawamura has drawn a spotlight to the Yokohama B-Corsairs, a club that has rarely been the subject of attention from B. League fans.
The 19-year-old signed with Yokohama on a specially designated amateur player contract late last month, raising the profile of a team with a lackluster 10-17 record and earning comparisons to generational talents such as Yuta Tabuse of the Utusnomiya Brex and Yuki Togashi of the Chiba Jets Funabashi.
Even someone unfamiliar with Kawamura¡¯s play will quickly recognize his rare ability, including his speed and agility on the court. But those are only some of the attributes that make him special as a point guard.
