Will Graves: “I really never considered leaving Japan”

Posted Mar 23, 2011
Will Graves enrolled with the Akita Happinets of the BJ League in Japan in February. He was averaging 22.1 ppg and 9.6 rpg when Japan was struck by a massive 8.9 Richter earthquake, which caught Graves on a bus back from Tokyo. Even though Akita is 173 miles away from the very troubled Fukushima nuclear plant, he has plans to play out the season in Japan before returning to the States. (Hoops Hype)
