Strengths: Athletic, runs the floor very well, good leaping ability ... Long arms, can throw it down almost any way ... Versatile, can either take it to the rim or pull up for long jump shots ... Good finishing touch, has a good feel for the ball ... Very strong at penetration, almost unstoppable ... Excellent mid-range shooter. Has 3 point range, with a very nice touch ... Strong ball handler, not afraid to run the point ... Loves to run, excels in the fast break ... A star from early childhood, well aware of things expected from him ... Not shy at all, knows what he's worth ... Always playing with older age groups, played in the U-18 league from 14-17 and played his HS senior year with Maccabi Tel Aviv seniors ... Shows a high skill level having played point guard as a kid ... Seems exited to play at the senior level. Next year will be interesting because he'll play outside the warm Maccabi cuddle for the first time in 4 years and a lot of eyes will be watching ...

Weaknesses: Appears to play for himself ... Seems to have a problematic character, at the youth level he often did whatever he pleased having a number of incidents and clashes ... Failed to win the Israeli HS league despite being in the most talented team and ended up leaving the school after disagreements with his coach ... He got his youth coach fired after the team failed to win the national title ... Never was able to take the junior national team to any remarkable achievements and this year's euro-championship was a real fiasco, despite Casspi's great numbers ... Often shows a great deal of arrogance and ego ... Often not aggressive enough, even in the Israeli youth league where he was taller then 95% of the guys, and easily the most coordinated and athletic at his size ... Doesn't go hard for boards, not fond of the "dirty work" on the court ... Settles for the outside shot too much, has a too much penetration skill and finishing touch for that ... Senior level experience, seriously needs floor time, does a lot of things well but still is in a need for "real" game time, unlike the garbage time he was getting in Maccabi ... Lacks tremendous foot speed ...
