Euroleague Profile
Strengths: Awesome shooter, has a quick release and a beautiful stroke, with tremendous range … Incredibly smooth, very skilled … Good ball handling, nice court vision, not a last resort PG … Clutch player, has ice in his veins… On the junior levels you just knew that the final shots will go him, a go to guy from head to toe … Has excellent size for a PG ... Always competing against older players, had a great U-18 Euro Championship as a 16 year old … Has excellent anticipation for steals … Israel's golden boy, play's non stop for several years in all national teams, from the cadets to the senior team… Deadly from the FT stripe …
Weaknesses: One-on-one defense has room to improve … Doesn't stand out when it comes to athleticism, not weak but not brilliant either, just average … insisted on staying in his home team Maccabi Tel-Aviv but was benched for a good part of 3 years playing behind the top PG in Europe (during that time) Jasikevicius … A quiet guy, you'll never see him demanding the ball … Despite a good season in Olimpija Ljublijana individually, the team had a horrible season, questioned leadership at the senior level ...
Notes: the top scorer of the U-22 World Championship with 23.5 PPG. Led Israel to the European U-21 silver averaging 22.1 PPG
