Experience at Kentucky Propelled Josh Harrellson to Success in Japan

Japan Times

After spending some time floating around NBA rosters, former Wildcat center Josh Harrellson has found a new home in Japan, playing for Osaka Evassa. Averaging a double-double, Harrellson is near the top of the Japense B. League in multiple statistical categories. Harrellson is eighth in scoring at 18 points per game, second in rebounding at 13 a game.

Where he’s surprised many in Japan is his three-point shooting ability. Very rarely do they see 6’11 guys stroke it from behind the three-point line, yet Harrellson is knocking down 39.7% of his attempts from behind the arc.
