Lynn Washington, the reigning bj-league league MVP and star power forward for the defending champion Osaka Evessa, is back where you'd expect him to be at the end of the regular season: on the all-league team.

Oita HeatDevils forward Andy Ellis, Niigata Albirex BB center Nick Davis and guards Kohei Aoki and Rasheed Sparks of the Tokyo Apache and Takamatsu Five Arrows, respectively, were also named to the bj-league's Best Five team, the league announced Friday.
