NBA Comparison: N/A
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
