In other league news this week, forward Lawrence Blackledge and the Iwate Big Bulls reached an agreement on a contract for next season. Blackledge, a Marquette University product, averaged 13.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 blocks in 52 regular-season games for Iwate, which had a franchise-best 40-12 record last season. Blackledge has been one of the league's most versatile forwards since he arrived in Japan in 2010.

Good for him. Still remember when he was the consolation prize for missing out on Stemler. (sp?)
