This is a good thing: The Sendai 89ers have a tendency to pass the ball to Nick DeWitz, and he makes his teammates want to keep doing this.
After all, success breeds repetition. Sendai has won 17 of 22 games this season, including a 7-1 record in January.
DeWitz is the leading scorer for the top team in the Eastern Conference, and his point production has been a big part of his team's success. He is The Japan Times' Offensive Player of the Month for January.
