—AJ Edu showed what he’s made of in Nagasaki Velca’s most recent win in the Japanese B.League’s 2024-25 season.
Edu came up big on both ends of the floor to help Nagasaki defeat Levanga Hokkaido, 79-70, at Yotsuba Arena Tokachi on Sunday.
The Gilas Pilipinas center posted a near double-double of 18 points and nine rebounds that went with three assists, two blocks and a steal to fuel Nagasaki to a 3-1 card.
Dwight Ramos, the Filipino import for Levanga, did not suit up in the Hokkaido loss.
Another Filipino big man in Kai Sotto had a solid outing but unlike Edu, Sotto’s Koshigaya Alphas fell to the Ryukyu Golden Kings, 87-59, at Koshigaya City Gymnasium.
