Kookmin Bank's Asian quarter Nagatamoe.

 Kookmin Bank has high expectations for the possibility of a versatile Asian quarter tall forward, Moe Nagata 27, 174cm. Attention is also focusing on how to use Nakata as it can expand its tactical operations.

Park Ji-soo's bid to compete overseas has heralding a thorny road ahead of Kookmin Bank. However, Kookmin Bank, which is still searching for hope despite hardships, is smiling at Nagata's performance. Nakata has been evaluated as a player who can run on not small stature and who is also capable of passing. Nagata also said, "I played from No. 1 point guard to No. 5 center. That's why I know how to pass and rebound."

Kookmin Bank coach Kim Wan-soo welcomes Nagata on the bench.

Through the Park Shin-ja Cup, Nagata showed off his versatile potential. He showed off his strength in scoring, rebounding, assists, and defense. "I haven't fully understood Nagata yet. I was a six-man player in the pro league, and now I have more roles to play," Kookmin Bank coach Kim Wan-soo said with a smile. "I told Nagata to be proactive as if he played the ace role in high school and college."

He also has good pass sense and can play a role in unraveling the game. "Nagata's pass is so good. It is easy to score points if you pass after watching him move. He can penetrate the opponent's strong pressure," Kookmin Bank shooter Kang Yi-seul said. "Besides Heo, I think having a ball handler will be of great help."

"Since Nagata is good at passing, he will be able to play the role of point forward depending on the situation. As he knows how to play various roles, I will decide on the role I will play while preparing for the upcoming event. As he is not short in stature, I think he will be able to use it in various ways," Kim said.
