Player Info

Mai Yamamoto is a quick and crafty guard who adds backcourt depth and scoring punch. At 25 years old, the 165 cm guard relies on her speed, ball-handling, and perimeter shooting to make an impact on the game. Yamamoto's smaller stature is offset by her fearlessness, court vision, and ability to navigate through defenses. She has developed her game within the Japanese system, likely playing a key role for her WJBL club with her ability to create shots off the dribble and from beyond the arc. Her agility makes her a pesky defender capable of generating steals and pushing the pace in transition. While she may still be carving out a definitive role on the senior national team, her skill set represents the guard depth that Japan continues to cultivate. Yamamoto's style is that of a classic, shifty playmaker who can change the tempo of a game with her energy and scoring bursts.
