    Represented by super agents Daniel Moldovan and George Cidiac of the internationally-renowned Octagon Sports, Wright didn't reveal details of his new deal.

    "It's a decent living," Wright, who is currently in Boracay with his family for a short vacation, said.

    After a sterling debut where he averaged 13.4 points, 3.0 assists and 5.0 assists per game, Kyoto wasn't about to let the 6-foot-4, 200-pound point guard go.

      Wright burnished his credentials further by shooting 38 percent from 3 and 85 percent from the free throw stripe.

      Sources in Japan told SPIN.ph that Wright's market value in the BLeague is easily in the $30,000 to $35,000 a month range.

      At age 32 and still scratching the surface of his prime athletic years, Wright said he will always be ready to answer a call-up from Gilas Pilipinas.
