The 31-year old forward signed a one year deal with an option for a second year as he will look to make an impact for the Reds on their front line. <\/p>\n<p>Vene, who comes from a family of basketball players, has plied his trade for numerous teams since beginning his career in then2005\/06 season. This past campaign he began the season with Limoges and ended the year with Varese for his third term with the club where he scored 12.3 points and grabbed 4.6 rebounds.  <\/p>\n<p>The forward played with the Estonia National team throughout the decade including the 2015 Eurobasket and was also named his country\u2019s player of the season three times. Over the years, Vene has also won a trio of Lithuanian League titles with Zalgiris along with a number of other domestic titles while also making stops in Spain, France, Latvia and Germany.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-09-10-at-9.46.35-PM-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1535\" height=\"1310\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-66752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-09-10-at-9.46.35-PM-1.jpeg 1535w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-09-10-at-9.46.35-PM-1-610x521.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1535px) 100vw, 1535px\" \/><br \/>\nJust after landing in Israel Saturday night, Vene spoke to The Sports Rabbi at Ben Gurion Airport about getting into the team as quickly as possible, his new coach Aleksandar Dzikic, the Eurobasket and his expectations this coming season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited to see what is coming and it\u2019s been a long wait but finally I am here and we can get to work. I have high expectations. I hope we can make something nice. I haven\u2019t won lately, nothing big and Hapoel didn\u2019t win anything last season, so hopefully we can get something again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the Eurobasket, Vene\u2019s Estonia played in a very tough group with Giannis Antetokounmpo\u2019s Greece, Ukraine, Italy, Croatia and Great Britain and while he would have liked to have advanced to the Round of 16, it was still a good experience in Milan.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_66740\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66740\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-22.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-22-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-66740\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Siim-Sander Vene &#8211; Photo Credit: FIBA<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cThe experience is nice and it\u2019s a basketball festival. We had a really nice crowd with us. We came up short in a few games, we were really close and wanted to make the next stage but it wasn\u2019t enough this time. Overall it was a good experience and we left with a positive feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vene is also excited to get to play in front of the Jerusalem fans which is something he has already done in the past as a visitor, \u201cI played here twice with other teams and it was an amazing atmosphere. I\u2019m excited to get in front of them and see the full gym.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Estonian forward has played under many coaches over the course of his career and while this is the first time that he will play under Dzikic, Vene has certainly heard about the bench boos, \u201cHe\u2019s Serbian, that says a lot already. I think he is modern Serbian and adjusted his philosophy at the same time he is still straight and hard with players. He\u2019s not extremely crazy or something so I think it will be ok.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_66742\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66742\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"660\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-21.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-21-610x403.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-66742\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Siim-Sander Vene &#8211; Photo Credit: FIBA<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nRight now, Vene\u2019s main goal is to find a way to mesh with his teammates as quickly as possible in order to become an important factor with the club going forward. He is aware that since the majority of the team has been working out together for the past few weeks it will take him some time to get into the swing of things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am in shape but you need to understand the other players and I haven\u2019t played with many of them before so I will take some time for sure. I hope I can adapt really quick and that it will take just two games, but we will see how it goes.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Siim-Sander Vene arrived in Israel ready to join Hapoel Jerusalem after representing Estonia at the Eurobasket.
