Yusei Sugiura

Yusei Sugiura is one of those players who lets the game speak for him, and honestly I respect that. Born in Setagaya in 1995 — one of Tokyo's more quietly cool neighborhoods — he went and built a career on a basketball court, which has its own unpretentious charm. He has moved from SunRockers Shibuya through Shimane, San-en, Shiga and Yokohama to the Sendai 89ers, and also plays 3x3 for Japan, and maybe that's just who he is: a craftsman type who shows up, does the work, and skips the noise. He's only just into his thirties, so the best chapters are probably still ahead of him, and I'm genuinely curious to see how he grows into his game.
