Japan - Zach Andrews

[tornado]

Zach continues to be on a tear and doing well for Niigata Albirex...averaging 12 ppg, 12 rpg, 66% fg shooting...

as far as how close he is to the earthquake & tsunami damage...

He is about as far opposite the present area as you can get....Niigata is actually on the WEST coast of Japan about 250 miles north of Tokyo....on the opposite side of the island from the damage...




the current earthquake zone is Sendai

[BuBraves55]

Looks like Niigata is about 68 miles away from we're they're evacuating due to a nuclear emergency in Fukishima, but I would assume that's a pretty safe distance.

Understanding the context and the greast catastrophe in Japan....
unfortunately for all involved -- the Japanese leagues have canceled all play for the remainder of the season...
