Yuta Watanabe has been the cause of a spike in interest of the Memphis Grizzlies this season. Based on the little time that Grizz Nation has seen him in action, he can potentially be worth all the hype.
Since the beginning of training camp, there has been a flock of media around the locker of one of the Grizzlies’ two-way players, which is very unusual to say the least.
What is also unusual is that there has only been one other Japanese player in NBA history that has appeared in a regular season game.
