Hiroshima Dragonflies rookie Kaine Roberts is making a name for himself in Japan's B.League as he continues to develop his game. Roberts, a 21-year-old guard, was born in Atsugi, Japan, to an American father and Japanese mother. He played college basketball at Stony Brook University in New York before joining the Hiroshima Dragonflies.
Roberts' transition to professional basketball in Japan has been smooth, thanks in part to his unique background and familiarity with both American and Japanese cultures. With American head coach Kyle Milling leading the Dragonflies, Roberts has found support in communicating in English while also being fluent in Japanese.
