Japan national team guard Takumi Ishizaki will lace up his sneakers in the German Pro A League in 2011-12, German media reported this week.
Now, the 188-cm Ishizaki, who was named to the bj-league's Best Five team last season, will bring his talents to the BV Chemnitz 99 backcourt. The team plays in Germany's second-tier pro circuit. The German Bundesliga is the nation's top league.
Ishizaki starred for the Shimane Susanoo Magic during their inaugural season and was viewed instantly by many as the top Japanese guard in bj-league history.
