My Take
What grabs me about Luke Maye isn't the 2017 national title with North Carolina, impressive as that was. It's the willingness to take his game across the Pacific to the Kobe Storks in Japan's B.League. Plenty of college champions chase the obvious path; far fewer commit to grinding it out in a foreign league, learning a new culture along with new defensive schemes. To me that signals genuine love for the sport over ego. I'd bet his hustle and rebounding instincts translate well, and I quietly hope he becomes a fan favorite in Kobe.
