All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. -Isaiah 53:6

@@Tacquito I respect your opinion. However, I love the positive bible verse.

I loved yuki from the Olympics he has so much heart

[@jimmymcmillan3312]

If the grizzlies give this guy minutes it will help tempt me into getting nba league pass. He jumped off the screen watching Japan in the Olympics and he's playing with the same fearlessness

[@Mimihuynh01]

dude same !

[@d3wbaka]

Kah wah moo rah 👏 👏

[@grahamblack4]

Yuki!!!

[@leonsmith3030]

Kind of crazy too because he easily dropped 20-30 during the olympics.

[@j4e339]

he’s not getting as many minutes and adjusting to different three point distance

[@jimmymcmillan3312]

Yuki must have a passion for basketball. With his elite speed, agility, and hand eye coordination, he could have went pro at any sport where his hight wouldn't be such a disadvantage. He must really not care about baseball or soccer

あー、やっぱりそういう見られ方してたんですね😊

[@Bohemian0522]

If you are to bring manga as comparison, he is more like Miyagi from Slam Dunk. Their similarities is both are the shortest player on the court, both use their speed and passing skills to beat their opponents. Slam Dunk is arguably the most popular sports manga ever, a movie adaptation in Japan last year was a maga hit at box office.

[@cupp9978]

Miyagi+3pt👍

[@shirakani]

Not Miyagi, he's basically Fujima Kenji from Shoyo. It's literally Shoyo brought to life here.

[@Mimihuynh01]

isnt kuruko like 5ft 7? so hes taller than him

[@bigradwolf5001]

Very nice NBA career by Yuta Watanabe. Six solid years, earned millions. Now, he can relax and play in his home town with big contract and marketing.

[@truepower3652]

Kuroko❤

[@Lyzzyotaku]

I think it's captain AKASHI with emperor eye not KUROKO he can't score

[@TeamTimeRiders]

Basketball is increasingly shifting back to good fundamentals. Signing a guy like Yuki is a no-brainer as he came up through a Japanese system that focuses on sound fundamentals. It’s the same reason why Jokic and Luka are so good.

[@TeamTimeRiders]

@@JamieWoods00746 a lot of teams may start looking for guys like yuki, even if he’s not all that successful in his first year. The emphasis on size in the last several years may now allow smaller faster guys to thrive.

[@_GdayMate]

He’s still keeping his scoring skills under wraps and focusing on assisting others.

[@meisterl0]

He's a looker too, like not ugly. Fits in with the Anime portrayal

[@LinkGotHopz]

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING HE IS LITERALLY KUROKOS

[@PirateHunterHookz]

Love a good anime x NBA cross over

[@DOCvip360]

I want to see him in the NBA All Stars Skills Showdown!!!

[@Mimihuynh01]

He has the passes like Kuroko everyone keeps drawing attention to him then he does that no look pass.

[@BettaUzeYoNikez]

Hes everything kuroko wanted to be. Yuki is playing against guys kuroko has hanging in his bedroom wall.

[@bigradwolf5001]

Can't wait to watch G League Hustle. This Memphis team of Huff, Oni, Bacot, Pereira, and Kawamura will be so much fun to watch. Morant and Edey should both play with the Hustle...it's a better crew than Grizzlies.

[@xavclee]

Too bad they didn't give him a regular contract. Hopefully he doesn't disappear in the G league. That tends to happen to talented players who weren't drafted.

[@prathammali2247]

He is more like akashi than kuroko as , kawamura brings out the superstar from inside his teammates like akashi used to do ( before obtaining emperor eyes and final 5 or so minutes in winter cup finals)

[@Ulquiorra-j7n]

He is more like Akashi than Kuroko

[@marisolflandez3964]

Mix of the two ❤

[@Blackfilmguild]

He is going to sell 3 million jerseys. Great marketability.

[@blackmancarry]

who ever grizzlies scout is he needs a raise

[@allenfrancis8107]

Real life ryota miyagi from slamdunk anime

[@caseynw]

This

[@ToshiSuzuki]

LFG!!!!

[@artduart1286]

I wish we would give the two way for Maozinha Pereira. But I believe marketing might gave Yuki the edge.

[@mrowltan]

He’s more like Miyagi from Slam Dunk.

[@opiniononion]

I hope he gets playing time and not just a sideshow

[@kjung2526]

He’s more like Akashi imo

[@shirakani]

Not sure why you say Kuroko... He's more a Fujima (from Slam Dunk) than Kuroko. In fact, if the Grizzlies are smart, they'll take a cue from how Shoyo played and put 4 big men on court with Yuki. I guess you've never read Slam Dunk?

[@ninjedi6710]

[@AM93000]

It is an insult to compare Yuki with Kuroko. Kuroko cannot shoot and not athletic

[@marisolflandez3964]

Kuroko 2.0 ❤

[@patricks5468]

This is incredibly racist and ignorant to compare a Japanese person to an anime character, first of all. Secondly, Zach Edy will be lucky to average 10 minutes a game, has almost no chance of staying healthy all season, and is no where near “the clear favorite for roty”. Have you been watching the NBA for the last decade? How many true centers who cant move their feet or shoot threes stay in this league?
