The Tokyo Apache played two games this past weekend against the Akita Northern Happinets (my vote for best team name in the league). Tyler continued his strong play in both contests, going for 18 and 6 in 24 minutes of play on Saturday night and 11 and 3 in 12 minutes on Sunday. He continues to score at an impressive rate, and his high FG % shows he is taking quality shots.

The area that still concerns me is his fouls. He is currently averaging 8 fouls per 40 minutes, or 9.6 fouls per 48 minutes. This is astronomical! To put it into context, if he was in the NBA this year he would be #2 in the league in this statistical category. I want to know where he is picking up all of these fouls. Alas, the bj-league is near impossible to find anywhere on the internet to watch.

Next up is Niigata on Dec. 11 & 12. These should be an interesting match-up for Tyler as Niigata's front line includes solid players and good size in Julius Ashby, Zachary Andrews, and Issa Konare.
