Ben Saraf took home the MVP title at the FIBA U18 EuroBasket 2024, after finishing as the tournament’s scoring champion. The Israeli star led the blue-and-white to a 4th place finish, in a campaign that included wins over Spain and France but most importantly saw the squad qualify for the World Championship which will be held in June of 2025.

Saraf dominated the scoring throughout the event, averaging 28.1 points per game, including two 40-point performances with one of those contests coming in the Round of 16 and another in the Semifinals despite losing in a dramatic least second shot by Serbia in double overtime. Additionally, Saraf contributed 5.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 4.0 steals per game. Thanks to Saraf’s spectacular play, the Israeli prospect quickly moved up the ranking as he is now 24th in the latest 2026 NBA Draft Room Mock Draft.
