12. Upper Galilee The
newcomer arrives with a lot of enthusiasm and some intriguing foreigners, and also the list is relatively in the preparation period.
However, the lack of experience in the professional team, and especially a young Israeli staff without a satisfactory resume in the Premier League, could cost the team from Kfar Blum in the survival season that will end back in the second league.
Itai Moshkovitz, Gabi Chachashvili and Nimrod Levy, give us a head start.
11. Gilboa / Galil
The Magen Ner team was built late following managerial matters that accompanied it in the summer, and also suffers from a plague of injuries that will surely hurt it at the beginning of the season and make it difficult for it to withstand the impressive achievements of recent seasons.
We believe that the tradition, the administrative silence and the hungry Israelis will rescue it at the last minute from relegation to the National League.
Bnei Herzliya The
team from Sharon has brought some interesting foreigners alongside good Israelis, and it should provide good basketball and better results than in recent seasons.
However, something does not connect there, and it is not clear whether Oren Aharoni's team is facing an improvement graph that will continue during the season.
The quality of the squad is likely to rescue it early from the relegation battles, but that will not be enough for the playoffs.
9.
Urbani
Ness Ziona The
reigning European Cup champion, for those who managed to forget, started the 2021/22 season badly, was eliminated from Europe at an early stage and also managed to replace some of its foreigners.
We estimate that Ness Ziona will improve and connect later in the season, but it will carry the problematic start with it and it will be difficult for it to get the ticket to the playoffs.

8. Hapoel BS
The southern team organized on time, brought the players early and arrives more prepared than most teams. However, Rami Hadar lacks depth in the Israeli staff and quality in the back line. Assuming the club management makes the right changes, Hapoel BS has the potential Reaching the playoffs for the third time in the last four years.
7. Maccabi Rishon LeZion
in the pre-season orange games did not look good and suffered a late purchase, which made them unprepared to open the season. Guy Goodes has a deep and quality Israeli staff, but also many question marks around the foreigners. It is true that Yitzhak Perry has already proven he can do Correct adjustments in the middle of the season, but that will only be enough for him to a place in the playoffs - no more than that.
6. Hapoel Haifa
also this season the team from Carmel built an intriguing staff, and with a little luck it would have qualified for the European Cup with him.
She has the most experienced coordinator there is, a gifted scorer and also excellent Israeli scenes.
With some refinements in the right positions, Elad Hussein's team will be one of the most dangerous teams in the coming season, and will be able to take the place that puts it in a good position to participate in a European factory next season.
5. Hapoel Eilat The
team of Ariel Beit Halachmi, with a missing staff, produced the maximum in the Winner's Cup, showed that it has an Israeli base, and also one Justin Patton, who is supposed to be a hit.
With the experienced Venglis Mancaris, a returning Allen bully and a quality stranger who will surely join - the Southerners will speak loudly this year as well.
I wish we could taste in the last part of the season some more of Casey Prather's abilities.

4. Hapoel Tel Aviv
on paper, Hapoel Tel Aviv has built its best team since returning to the Premier League.
Senior and good Israelis alongside well-known, experienced and quality foreigners.
So it's true that there are question marks surrounding Jacoben Brown's eligibility, and the high position is still uncertain, but the Reds have enough money and confidence to make changes, if and when they need to.
Hapoel Jerusalem
has too many question marks and too many things to change for the Reds from the capital to have a good team that can fight for titles in Israel and achievements in Europe.
Oren Amiel's team has enough talent to finish among the top three in the table, but it's hard to see it succeeding in advancing beyond that.
2. The
purple
Hapoel Holon
look good, and despite a certain lack of back line and front line, coach Maurizio Buscalia has an experienced and quality Israeli staff and excellent foreigners who know a thing or two about top fights.
As we have seen before, Hapoel Holon also knows how to get stronger in the middle of the season, and will probably bring in this player who will help it go as far as possible, probably in the local arena.
1. Maccabi Tel Aviv, the
Israeli champion, has built a quality roster for both foreigners and Israelis this season, and on paper it seems that the gaps in the other teams have increased compared to last season. We will be surprised if the winning rate will be significantly higher than the second in the table.
And one Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Keep the degree?
