AJ Edu drilled a career-high three triples on his way to 18 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal in the Nagasaki Velca win.
AJ Edu is back, for real.
Edu had his best game of the new B.LEAGUE season, helping power the Nagasaki Velca to a 79-70 win over Levanga Hokkaido, sweeping the road series Sunday.
The youthful forward posted early season-highs with 18 points, nine rebounds, and three assists, while also adding two blocks and a steal to round out his impressive performance.
Edu also flashed his range, drilling 3/5 from beyond the arc, which are a career-high.
With the win, Nagasaki improved to 3-1 with the back-to-back victories. Hokkaido, still without star Dwight Ramos due to injury, struggled to find their footing, falling to 0-4 on the season.
Edu’s 18 points were just one shy of his professional career-high, showcasing his potential to be a key contributor for Nagasaki this season.
The Velca will remain on the road, taking on the Gunma Crane Thunders next week.
