There are several former UNC players playing in Japan today, Isaiah Hicks and friends. Not a bad gig.
“Isaiah will be seeing some familiar faces in Japan next season, as there have been many Tar Heels making the beautiful country their home as of late. James Michael McAdooplays for Hitachi Sun Rockers in Tokyo, Brice Johnson plays for Toyama Grouses and Justin Knox most recently played for Hicks’ new team, Neo-Phoenix. Jawad Williamswas playing in the second-tier of Japanese basketball before retiring this summer.
The 2017 NCAA Champion has been playing in South Korea for the past two seasons and has finished in the Top 10 scorers in the league for both seasons. He averaged 17.9 PPG this past season and led his team in PPG, BPG and FG%.”
