\n1) Spencer Weisz leads Hapoel Afula<\/strong>
\nMaccabi Ramat Gan has been a terrific addition to Israel\u2019s top basketball league, but they aren\u2019t the one ones who have made an impact coming up from the country\u2019s second division. Hapoel Afula has also played admirably since joining the Premier League under the tutelage of head coach Roie Perel as they sport a respectable 8-9 record good for 8th place overall in league play. <\/p>\n

Many times when a newly promoted team begins their way in the first division they have issues which can range from attracting proper personnel that can keep them afloat to also convincing both Israelis and imports that this is the right place for them to also farther their careers. In many cases these teams are also in tough areas of the nation that some may not want to move to bit so far Perel has been able to find just the right mix of veterans and youngsters, Israelis and foreigners to make Afula their home away from home.

\nAnother challenge that Afula and other teams had to deal with was the war. Perel and his squad opened the season on October 6th at Nes Ziona as the team was still on the midst of coming together as one unit, with top level imports side as Casey Sheperd and Yanick Morreira on the roster. However, as soon as all hell broke loose on October 7th, Afula saw some of their top players head home and new ones would be recruited once it was decided to get back to playing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no question that Marcellus Earlington and Cameron Shelton have made their mark but a number of their Israeli players also have helped the team as they strive to find a way into the playoffs. One of those players is Israeli league veteran Spencer Weisz who is now in his 7th season in the Holy Land. <\/p>\n

Weisz, who was a star for Princeton and was one of the top players in the Ivy League when he graduated back in 2017 has plied his trade for a number of clubs including Hapoel Gilboa Galil, Hapoel Beer Sheva, Maccabi Ashdod, Hapoel Haifa and now Afula where his is having arguably his best season yet. Averaging 11 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists a game has placed Weisz in the upper echelon of Israeli players the league is featuring this season. <\/p>\n

After Afula\u2019s most recent win a 94-79 conquest over Hapoel Galil Elyon, Weisz who came close to a triple-double with 16 points, 9 boards and 7 assists spoke about the win and his season to date.

Spencer Weisz – Photo Credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div>\u201cJust proud of our effort. We started out slow and wasn\u2019t showing our best, but slowly we go into our game on the defensive end which is what we do best. Everyone was touching the ball and that gets all of the guys engaged. We have been together on and off the court for quite some time now and we hold each other accountable while we push each other at practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a big win but we have another big game coming up against Holon. In the past I was showing my abilities but maybe not translating that to my game, but this year I have been able to show what I have been doing in practice. As for making the postseason, that is the goal and the expectations from the outside weren\u2019t great but we aren\u2019t paying attention to them. We put our head down and we are working hard to do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spencer Weisz is no doubt a gamer and a winner and a player that any and every coach should want on their team. <\/p>\n

\n2) Maccabi Tel Aviv keeps on winning<\/strong>
\nMaccabi Tel Aviv have now gone 2 for 2 in Euroleague play since returning from the international break thanks to a 83-76 win over Zalgiris at their home away from home in Belgrade. The win moves the yellow-and-blue to 15-13 which is good for 8th place as they eye the 6th spot which would be an automatic place in the quarterfinals. While 8th place would be good enough for a Play In spot and a chance to advance to the quarterfinals, they would no doubt be very content o be able to skip that part of the postseason. <\/p>\n

With six game remaining in their continental slate, Maccabi is still two games off of 7th place where there are 4 teams sitting at 17-11 including Panathinaikos, Fenerbahce, Bologna and Olympiacos. While a two game gap with six to go seems like a tough road, it\u2019s not an impossible one as all of the four teams listed above have to yet play some tough games against a number of teams over .500 and are top level opponents. As for Oded Katash and his team, they have only one game in that category which is at Barcelona in their second to last game of the season. <\/p>\n

Every team is going to lose and some of the four teams are playing head to head which makes Maccabi Tel Aviv\u2019s situation a bit more favorable, however, an unexpected loss to the likes of Villeurbanne, Milan or Valencia may cost them dearly in their postseason hunt.<\/p>\n

Should Maccabi go 5-1 and finish at 20-14, that should be good enough to end the campaign in 6th place, a 4-2 record for 19-15 will be close but probably not good enough to get them back to where they were last season. In reality, it\u2019s quite amazing that Maccabi can even be having these thoughts with what they have gone through this year between the war and being displaced to Belgrade, but yet here they are. <\/p>\n

Katash deserves a massive ton of credit to where Maccabi is right now as he looks to finish off strong.

\n3) Shachar Amir Up & Coming<\/strong>
\nShachar Amir is a fun, fun player to watch with Hapoel Holon as he continues to hone his skills and raises the level of his game. Amir has given head coach Amit Sherf yet another serious option to use on a game in game out basis and so much so he even had him start against Nes Ziona. The almost 24-year old as his birthday comes up on March 11th, had been given very post minutes last season and perhaps to some it was a surprise to see him back with Holon this season but Amir stayed and has been rewarded. <\/p>\n

With only 7 players available against Nes Ziona, Amir was given the start and he shot lights out rewarding his coach\u2019s faith in him with 10 first half points as his season average went up to 5.4 points per game.

\nAmir, who as part of the Israel Under-20 team that won the 2019 European Championship was not one of the well known players on that team which included Deni Avdija and Yam Madar and only featured in 3 games. But hard work pays off as Amir has put the pedal to the metal and is now a trusted member of the Holon squad. <\/p>\n

Between Yotam Hanochi who was Amir\u2019s teammate at the 2019 European Championship, Niv Misgav and Amir himself the trip put together 40 points of the team\u2019s 81 which is just a click under 50%. Those are some impressive numbers even if the purples were playing with a very short roster. <\/p>\n

\u201cNiv and Hanochi and I have a very good connection together both on flights and at practice,\u201d Amir said. \u201cWe are always going through changes in the roster due to injuries and the like. So we have to really be ready for everything. As for getting the start, I feel a lot of comfortable, it doesn\u2019t matter if I start or come off the bench. I can influence the game and be proactive either way, I grabbed the opportunity with both hands.\u201d
\n\"\"
\nAnd-1: MiKe James #1<\/strong>
\nLove him or hate him, Mike James is #1! Monaco\u2019s superstar guard moved into first place in the Euroleague all-time scoring list passing Vassilis Spanoulis with a second quarter step back jumper in typical James style. <\/p>\n

The 33-year old Portland native has played for a number of Euroleague clubs including Milan, CSKA, Panathinaikos, Baskonia and Monaco since 2021. James has also made stops in the NBA with the Brooklyn Nets, New Orleans Pelicans and phoenix Suns and is still in search of his first league title. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no question that James has played the part of villain to perfection numerous times throughout his career which makes him that lightening rod and attracts so much attention, but with that he is a player that everyone would want on their team any day of the week. He has guts, savvy, suave and a smoothness to his play that brings out that killer instinct and winner within which Maccabi Tel Aviv saw up close and personal during their best of 5 game quarterfinal series last season that Monaco took in the 5th and deciding game to punch their ticket to the Final Four.<\/p>\n

In that game 5 James was knocked up a bit and while his shooting from deep wasn\u2019t much to write home about going 2\/10, it was his desire, his will and his drive that saw him play 33 minutes and still score 21 points as he hobbled and wobbled at times.

\n\u201cI was just so focused on making sure we won because I didn\u2019t want to break the record and then we lose, then it\u2019s kind of a weird feeling,\u201d James commented. \u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018Can he really be happy?\u2019 So I was just more focused on the win, to be honest. I was trying to make sure the attention on me breaking the record didn\u2019t distract us from focusing on what really mattered. Just happy we got the win and now we can go and celebrate.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the team\u2019s goals coming up, James said, \u201cClinching the playoffs and then, you know, trying to get to the Final Four and trying to win a championship. That\u2019s been our goal all year. We went to the Final Four and didn\u2019t get a chance to compete for a championship. I think we all want a shot at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

If he keeps it up there\u2019s no question that James and Monaco will head right back to the playoffs and then it\u2019s all open to finding a way to win that elusive title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
