"Taguchi’s range from downtown boosts Akita" - The Japan Times

"...To open the 2017-18 season, however, Taguchi has been superb from 3-point range. His scorching 61 percent shooting tops the chart in the second division for the unbeaten Akita Northern Happinets (9-0), who extended their season-long win streak with a 70-58 triumph over the host Yamagata Wyverns on Wednesday....

Big man Kadeem Coleby, a Wichita State alum ('2013-14) and native of the Bahamas, is the team’s second scoring option (11.4 ppg), giving Akita a productive option in the post...."

The Wyverns is one of best team names of all time.

"...In other team news, the Happinets confirmed that veteran big man Kadeem Coleby has agreed to a deal for the 2018-19 campaign.

The 206-cm Coleby, a native of the Bahamas, averaged 11.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and a second division-best 1.7 blocks in 51 games.

“I am excited to be a part of the Akita Northern Happinets team for another season,” said Coleby, a Wichita State product. “I hope that we can build off of last season’s success and continue to grow as a team.”

All the talk about "metrics" these days -- how about a different sort of metric, the "206 cm Coleby" for Kadeem? I looked it up; that means he's now officially listed as 6-9 by his Happinets team in Japan.

Call me old-fashioned (as indeed I am), but I just find calling someone a 7-footer more impressive than saying he's a 213.4 cm guy.
