Seven players had three or more assists in the Kyoto Hannaryz's blowout win over the Oita HeatDevils on Friday. This is coach Honoo Hamaguchi's brand of basketball: spread the wealth.
It worked well for the Sendai 89ers during Hamaguchi's six seasons there, and in his first year in Kyoto, he has the team at 5-5 and playing solid basketball.
It's a long season, of course, but it appears the Kyoto players are responding to their bench boss's orders. And that 's a positive step as the third-year franchise tries to build a stable, consistent program.
