Teenage phenom Yuki Kawamura wrapped up his second stint in the B. League with the Yokohama B-Corsairs over the weekend and admitted this had been the most underwhelming season of his promising young career.

League through the league’s early-entry system, which allows players under 22 years of age to spend up to three months with a team during a given season.
