Marquette graduate Scott Merritt played in all three of Ukraine, Cyprus and Turkey last year, so it was probably a relief to get one long gig this year. Playing for Tochigi Brex in Japan's JBL. Merritt is averaging 12.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game for the team; teammates of his include UCLA's Alfred Aboya (7.7 points & 4.9 rebounds) and former Suns guard Yuta Tabuse (more on him later). Playing with Yuta Tabuse is a bit like playing with Dwyane Wade, at least in terms of hero worship.

Note: Non-US teams that the player
has played for are, unless stated otherwise, from the top division in
that nation. If a league or division name is expressly stated, it's not
the top division. The only exceptions to this are the rare occasions where
no one league is said to be above the other, such as with the JBL/BJ League
split in Japan.
