Story Of The Japanese Steph Curry: Keisei Tominaga

Story Of The Japanese Steph Curry: Keisei Tominaga
Born in Moriyama Japan, Keisei Tominaga has all the makings of being the next big Japanese star. He fits the mould of the current generation of ball players as he can shoot from deep, penetrate to the rim and help his teammates get open looks. There’s a reason he earned the nickname ‘The Japanese Steph Curry’ because not only is he a lights-out shooter but is one of the most efficient players for his age. That efficiency has stood pat as his usage has gone up moving from junior college to the NCAA Division 1. NBA scouts have their eyes on Tominaga as he’s set to provide an offensive punch to which ever team is lucky enough to draft him.

Because steph curry revolutionized the NBA, this gives everyone a chance specially the small guys, to play in NBA as long as you are shooting well in 3pt line.

[@usersixnine347]

It’s funny how 6’2 is considered small in basketball lol

Wish the best for the kid. Curry was a monster at Davidson. He showed signs of being a high volume scorer. I don't know if this kid will ever get the type of green light Curry got.

I hope more Asian basketball players are drafted going forward. Even when they make it to the NBA, which is a major feat on its own, they are not utilized. Yuta Watanabe is a prime example of a great shooter that sits on the bench being wasted. He's 28 years old.

[@NFLOLDMAN771]

[@eddyrucker892]

One of the biggest challenges of playing big minutes in the NBA is high basketball IQ, unfortunately talent alone is not good enough to play at a high level. If you miss a lot of defensive assignments, you don't box out efficiently and you don't run plays into the shot clock, you ride the bench. Let's hope they do great and have great coaches that can teach them the NBA game.

[@rickmatamz3873]

This is something. He can be on his own class soon. Nowadays, Steph can still score an average of 29.4 PPG, not the same as before coz he's been guarded by 2,3,4 guys at a time right when he crosses the half court line. hahahaha No one can surpass steph as the greatest shooter the game has ever seen that's for sure and he revolutionize and changed the game of how basketball is being played and he changed it for many years to come.
