Suleiman Braimo and the team from the capital wanted to continue the affair between them for a third year, but Oren Amiel asked to replace him.

Suleiman Braimo is one of the players identified with Hapoel Jerusalem in recent years.

He is diverse, smart, tough, experienced and most of all plays with all his heart.

This is the reason for the great joy of the club people when they managed to close the deal for his return, and especially for the great excitement of the fans while reading in this section about the summary between the parties.

For more than two months now, the Reds have been looking to strengthen the front line.

It was estimated that the goal was to bring in a position in position 5, a real center that could be a goal in color, but Guy Harel and Yotam Halperin aimed for 4.5, a player who will play in both face positions and collaborate with all the seniors on the roster, from Itai Segev, through Anthony Bennett and Kaiser Gates.

On the face of it they seem to have managed to bring in the best player, and especially the most suitable one that has been on the market.

"He can save Jerusalem for the season," says Sharon Drucker, who coached Braimo at Hapoel Eilat and reached the semi-finals of the Final Four in the 2018/19 season with confidence.

"Sue is a player who makes a team, who contributes in all parameters, in the locker room, on the pitch, tough, plays in two positions, knows the league, a fearless fighter. It's a move that could change their season. They were lucky enough to bring in such a player."

Halperin said: "Once the opportunity arose to bring Sue back, no one with us hesitated for a moment."

According to reports, Braimo was the only foreigner the team management wanted to keep last summer, but coach Oren Amiel wanted to rebuild and therefore asked to be replaced.

The player himself was also interested in continuing, but has said in the past that no one from the club has approached him.

At one point a good offer came from San Pablo Burgos, the Champions League champion in the last two seasons, and Braimo signed in its ranks.

The period in Spain did not brighten the face of the Nigerian-American high, who until this season was successful in almost every team he was on.

From a position of key and important player he became a rotation player rising from the bench.

A player of almost 30 minutes he dropped to 17-18 and his output was about 7 points on average in the ACB and the Champions League.

His release has been hovering in the air for weeks now.

"It is difficult to understand why he did not succeed, because on paper he seems to have the necessary conditions," says Carmelo Plesius of the local newspaper Diario de Burgos: "Massa in color, but the ACB is different in the way basketball is played and he has not been able to adapt. He has not been able to match the physicality in the league."

Last summer Burgos went for a rebuild.

The coach Juan Panaroya, who has done magic in recent years, moved to Valencia and was replaced by Jean Tabak, who has been familiar to us from his short time at Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Croatian is considered a tough coach with strict requirements. Zack who arrived in Holon, by the way, Tabak left before their release.

"If I have to name a major reason that caused his failure, I will say stress or insecurity. He seemed to have a mental block. He did not ask for the ball and did not rise in the important games (lost 3 balls in 4 minutes in his last game against Oldenburg in the Champions League , YM).

A lot was expected of him, but he played badly and things did not work out for him properly.

The general situation of the team did not help him grow, of course. "

Professionally it is possible to point to the instability in shooting from outside the arc, as a key that prevented Braimu from integrating.

In Spain, players in position 4 usually excel in shooting for 3, especially in Burgos, which in recent years has stood out in this parameter, but the player who came from the capital scored only 27.8%.

Significantly lower than the 35% at Hapoel Jerusalem last season.

His place in Burgos was taken by Hayden Dalton under Oren Amiel in Nymburk Dyke by 44.1% to 3 in the Champions League in the 2020/21 season.

An event that may have exacerbated the Saha for Braimo occurred when angry fans threw eggs at his vehicle.

The club shook off and condemned the incident and some fans also apologized to the player, but to date the local police have not caught the perpetrators of the act.

Last Friday, just a few days after landing in Israel, Braimo had already managed to be a key part of the nice victory over Hapoel Eilat, in which the Reds stopped the opponent by 64 points, the lowest number they have absorbed in all competitions this season.

With all due respect to the league, Braimo's main goal is to help his teammates beat Karsiyaka tonight and save the European season.

"Sue knows both Hapoel Jerusalem and the Champions League well, he can help in the immediate term," Drucker is sure.

Braimo himself said: "We have a difficult task in the Champions League, but I promise we will fight to the last drop of sweat."

You can be sure that he is not just talking.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
