Fred Hoiberg has assembled one of the most fun teams in the country at Nebraska and Keisei Tominaga is the No. 1 reason why. Tominaga has become known as “The Japanese Steph Curry” because he bombs threes like Steph and is, well, Japanese.
Tominaga only played a bit over 25 minutes a game but leads Nebraska in scoring at 14.9 points while shooting 37.2% on 6.2 threes. While the percentage isn’t over 40%, Tominaga is still a lethal shooter, he’s just never afraid to pull the trigger. His constant movement and frankly, his audacity, puts constant stress on a defense.
There are plenty of better players in the country than Tominaga, but few are more enjoyable to watch. Nebraska is the No. 8 seed in the South and may not even get past Texas A&M in Round 1 let alone Houston in Round 2, but Tominaga is the type of player that can steal the country’s heart in March, so he deserves recognition on this list.
