Suns sign Japan's Yuta Tabuse

Phoenix Suns News / Sept 7, 2004
The Phoenix Suns today signed guard Yuta Tabuse (pronounced you-TA
ta-BOO-say), who will attempt to become the first Japanese-born player
to play in the NBA.


“Yuta earned the opportunity to sign this contract because he has now
proven in two consecutive summers that he can play at the NBA level,”
Suns President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo said. “Yuta will
get every opportunity to make our team and perhaps this shot at the
league will work out for him. He has a great feel for the game and
pushes the ball up the floor extremely well. He really has the ability
to electrify an audience.”

The Yokohama, Japan native participated in two summer leagues for the
Suns in July. In three games at the Reebok Vegas Summer League, the 5-9,
165-pound playmaker averaged 5.0 points and 2.0 assists, while posting
averages of 3.8 points and 2.5 assists in six games at Reebok Rocky
Mountain Revue.

The 23-year-old attended the Denver Nuggets training camp last year, but
was waived prior to the start of the regular season. His tryout with the
Nuggets was well documented in the media and on NBA TV’s “Real Training
Camp”. He averaged 3.0 points and 2.7 assists in three preseason games
with the Nuggets, including seven points, three rebounds and three assists
in 11 minutes vs. Phoenix on Oct. 9, 2003. After his release, he signed
with the ABA’s Long Beach Jam and averaged 5.3 points and a team-leading
6.3 assists in 18 games.

Tabuse, who played two seasons at Division II Brigham Young-Hawaii, is the
fifth player on the Suns roster who was born outside the United States
(Tabuse-Japan, Steve Nash-Canada, Leandro Barbosa-Brazil, Zarko Cabarkapa-
Serbia and Montenegro, Maciej Lampe-Poland).

He will arrive in Phoenix in the next week.
