Acting: This is how Angelo Cloiaro became a barometer at Maccabi Tel Aviv

He was left on the defensive stopwatch standard, but over time became a key player on offense as well.

Only Wilbkin plays more than him, Sapropolos insisted on him and Omri Caspi says of him that "he always does the right thing."

Is the fact that the Yellows have become dependent on Cloiaro's points a testament to the problematic staff we have built?

Tyler Dorsey's excellence in Maccabi Tel Aviv's victory in Berlin, with 25 points, naturally attracted the most attention, and hid a surprising and encouraging statistic for the Yellows: For the first time this season, the team received a significant contribution from its forwards together - 16 points and 6 rebounds. Lou Cloiaro, 13 points and 5 rebounds and 3 assists from Omri Caspi.

In general, Cloiaro is one who enjoys leaving the stage and discussions to others, and in his characteristic quiet, this season has become a critical key player in Maccabi.

He gets 28:29 minutes from Manis Sapropoulos, with the only one on the field more than him - and that too, just 17 seconds into the evening, is Scotty Wilbkin;

Twelve different players started in the top five in the Euroleague, but he is the only one, apart from Wilbkin and Anta Žižić, who has done so at least 17 times already.

Jello's numbers, as he is known in the team, are as good as in his first season in Tel Aviv - 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds, including 36 percent off the arc, 1.1 steals and 1.6 assists.

He is ranked sixth in points, third in rebounds and second in steals.

The index is fourth on the team, so the thought of him as another player in the rotation is wrong.

The data show that this is a very significant screw, which to a large extent has also become a barometer whose contribution largely represents the difference between victories and losses at Maccabi.

This not only teaches about him, but also about building the inadequately good and balanced staff of the Yellows.

Omri Caspi: "I don't know many teams that had a shortage of our players"

To the full article

9.4 points in wins, 5.4 points in losses.

Cloiaro scores 9.4 points and adds 4.6 rebounds in 27 minutes on the team's wins, compared to 5.4 points and 3.8 rebounds in just 29.7 minutes in losses.

He was also excellent in some of the close losses - 9 points in the loss to Anadolu Zero and 15 points plus 7 rebounds in the dramatic loss in Valencia.

The play in Berlin came precisely after a period in which Cloiaro suffered a relative devaluation of his status.

The improvement in the ability of Dragon Bender, who jumped from 17 to 22 minutes and 4.1 to 9.6 points last month, came at the expense of the American on the offensive side - and he fell in the previous four games to 4.5 points (although his number of minutes was not affected) .

But as mentioned, Maccabi Tel Aviv needs offensive output, which is not necessarily its hallmark.

"That's the beauty of Jello," said one of the Maccabi players this week. And make no mistake, always do the right thing. "

Cloiaro's history at Maccabi Tel Aviv can fill a book.

Nevan Spahija brought him in 2018 from the Turkish Bandirma, but his blossoming came only under Sapropolos, and the Yellows exercised the option on him under pressure from the Greek coach at a cost of $ 600,000.

But a few weeks later, when Omri Caspi signed, Cloiaro was pushed aside, did not dress in the league and Euroleague and was asked to find a team.

Only when Caspi was injured did Cloiaro register in the Euroleague, and on his return from the Corona the league also registered in the local arena and was dominant in winning the championship.

Last summer he signed a $ 750,000 two-year contract, significantly less than he had the year before, but in relation to the fact that he almost found himself out of the roster, this is an achievement for him.

Not only Sapropolos appreciates Cloiaro.

Caspi also respects him very much.

"I really like playing with Angelo, he is one of our barometers in defense, and the value he gives us on the pitch is high. He always makes the right defensive and offensive move, knows how to take players in the post and squeeze offenses, put the body for the team, take and give "Strong Pauls. He plays in positions 3 and 4, always acting, there are not many players who can give such value in both positions. A great player for the team, likes to cut, I like to give him, fun to play with."

"I'm very fond of playing with Angelo."

No one at Maccabi Tel Aviv or its surroundings has a single claim to Cloiaro, but the facts surrounding his story tell the story of Maccabi this season. "How many Euroleague teams would have taken Cloiaro if not us? Very few," says one of those close to the system. "At the end of the day, this is a black practice that many teams do not play for so many minutes, The most important in the group structure. "

Each of the teams that are ranked above Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Euroleague table has a quality attacking player in the forward positions: these are not only Nikola Mirotic in Barcelona or Will Claibren in CSKA Moscow, but also Alberto Abelda in Real Madrid, Mathews Ponitka in Zenit St. Petersburg, Shabon Milens, Olympia Eating Polonara in Basconia, Krono Simone in Anadolu Zero and of course Vladimir Lucic, who starred in Bayern Munich until he was sidelined due to injury.

"Yannis, too, with all his love for Cloiaro, agreed not to sign him last season after insisting on him," said a source close to Maccabi. Obviously if there were decent alternatives in the money he gets, maybe it would have looked different in the summer. In the end there was a very significant limit of money, Cloiaro is a player who runs the team and is loved, and he fit very well. What's happening this year, happened to him and Diandra Kane two years ago - Yannis gives a lot of minutes to players whose strongest part is defense. When there are good attacking players around you, it works, but when there are less good players, the team is less successful. "

Tonight (Tuesday, 21:05) against Olympiacos, Cloiaro will also be there to bring the Yellows closer to the picture of the fight for the last ticket to the playoffs. Being there, the war, the elbows and the right decisions he brings with him, will make Sapropolos leave him on the floor for at least 25 minutes.
