    Seriously doubt that he will get any PT at all.
    Miller and Boykins will hog all the PG minutes.
    Only way he will play is if it's injuries to Boykins or Miller.

    Gonna be tough to make the team. Has to beat out Harrington and another PG that we had in the summer leagues. Igor something-or-other who used to play for Minnesota.

    Should be fun to watch though.

    The first Japanese (or rather, Japanese-American) player in the NBA was Wataru Misaka of the Knicks. He played three games in the 47-48 season and scored three points before being cut. I think he was 5'7 or 5'8. Unfortunately, he's also a die hard Jazz fan...
