Japan Times article on Richard Roby

[Buffnik]

The 198-cm Roby has traveled a different path. Since he left the University of Colorado in 2008, Roby has suited up for teams in the Middle East, the NBA Development League, Europe, South America and Asia.

He joined the Northern Happinets in 2013 and averaged 20.1 and 20.0 ppg, respectively, over the past two seasons. Through Sunday, he’s scoring at a 20.1 ppg clip, 10th-highest total in the 24-team bj-league this year. The Happinets, meanwhile, are 29-15 and in third place in the 12-team East.

*******************

A lot of it is about the relationship between Roby and Kenyon Martin, who are half brothers.
