Carl Tamayo is certainly getting all the necessary help he could get to ease into Japan, and what better way to learn the culture than through his fellow Filipino imports.
The former Fighting Maroon standout, who struck a two-year deal with the Ryukyu Golden Kings last month, is pleased to be picked as the team’s Asian import.
“The imports here are my friends, they are my teammates in the national team and we talk about the league, the team. I think Kiefer Ravena [team captain of Shika Lakes] is the one who talked to me and advised me a lot about the league, about the culture in Japan. I think everyone’s happy that they’re playing here [in B.League]. It’s a great experience and as a young player, having this exposure against top-level players is good for me. I will learn a lot,” said Tamayo.
Likewise, Ryukyu general manager Junichi Yasunaga thinks Tamayo’s addition to the fourth-seed team will be a huge force for its championship bid.
