Ranked seventh in minutes, so how is the biggest flop?

Maccabi Tel Aviv will go up tonight (Thursday, 21:05, Sport 5) for the game against Valencia when officially they have not yet lost a chance to reach the playoffs in the Euroleague.

Nine games until the end of the regular season, the Yellows have another mathematical chance to qualify: they should win all games, or at least eight out of nine, but the chances of that seem nil in light of the team's ability and the difficult game board.

Just before everything becomes official, we started to sum up the disappointment with scores for the players and the coach.

Did theirs

Othello Hunter 7

In his two years at Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hunter was designed to be the least dominant domestic player.

In practice, most of the burden falls on him, and despite the disappointment of the season, it is difficult to come up with complaints for the domestic player who will soon celebrate 35, with 8.9 points and 5.6 rebounds, with only Scotty Wilbkin ahead of him in the index.

Hunter scored 11.8 points in Maccabi's victories, compared to 7.4 in losses.

Elijah Bryant 6.5

Although he disappeared and was not dominant in too many minutes of quite a few games, but in relation to the initial expectations from him, this is another player who recorded a good season.

Bryant's main problem is the inconsistency between games - while in seven games he exploded with an average of 16.7 points, in 18 others he stood at only 7.8.

Next season, probably in the NBA, he will have to prove himself on a completely different level.

Once again he was supposed to be a replacement chin, and once again became the most important player on the team.

Needs improvement

Chris Jones 5.5 It's

hard to come up with a lot of complaints to the coordinator who is playing in two factories for the first time, but the fact that for many months he failed to position himself as a senior option for Yannis Sapropoulos is the main disappointment from him.

Jones' figures are pretty amazing: in just eight games this season, he has had more than 17 minutes, scoring 11.3 points and 4.6 assists.

In 18 games in which he played less than 17 minutes, he dropped to 4.8 points and 1.6 assists.

Angelo Cloiaro 5.5

At a certain point during the season we pointed to Cloiaro as a barometer - whenever he had a good offensive day, Maccabi Tel Aviv won.

But this season's Cloiaro has seen fewer such days.

In eight games he scored 12.8 points (and the Yellows were on a 2: 6 balance), and in 17 other games?

3.7 points only.

In the end, this is a player who cannot be trusted on offense, and especially on defense, and when he gets 28 minutes per game, there is a problem for the Yellows.

Scotty Wilbkin 5

There are many things that can not be argued - Wilbkin is the most dominant player in Maccabi Tel Aviv.

He plays almost the most minutes, scores the most points (15.1 per game), submits the most assists (4.4), leads the index (15.2) and takes the most shots (90 more than the next on the list).

And in the end, Wilbkin missed too many shots of games, made too many bad performances (eight games with less than ten points) and Maccabi Tel Aviv did not succeed.

That says a lot about her planet.

Let him be better next season, wherever he plays.

Tyler Dorsey 5

In most figures, Dorsey has improved over last season, but his inconsistency and poor defensive ability lead to disappointment from him as well.

He had 30 points against Real Madrid, 26 against Moscow Himki, 25 against Alba Berlin and 20 against CSKA Moscow, but in most games (14 out of 25) he got stuck on double figures, including six with four points and under. With the gaps so big. Between games, you can not be satisfied.

Oz Blazer 5 is

not a bad debut season for Blazer, who came with low expectations, but also not a big season. Only once he is not a partner, he got 11 minutes per game, and gave what was expected of him - enthusiasm, defense, But not much more. In the end, Blazer is far from a disappointment, but a look at his data - 2.3 points and 1.4 rebounds - is enough to realize that more can be spent.

Captain

John Dibertolomao 5

has given four good games since returning from injuries that sidelined him, including He scored eight points per game, but Maccabi only won them once.In the end, Sapropoulos gave him less than eight minutes to go in 14 games.Dibratholomao would have looked pretty good in them, but the lack of minutes was in his back, and it is difficult to judge him after about a year without basketball.

To many, the fact that he returned to play is a miracle.

Not enough

Yuval Sussman 4.5

Like Dibertolomao, Sussman also returned from injury, and he also did not get too many opportunities at first, but before the forced break of Maccabi Tel Aviv he climbed to 17.5 minutes to demonstrate his abilities.

It ended with a record 11 points against Basconia, and three games in which he did not score.

He has gone backwards offensively, and the Guard will hope for a better season, wherever he plays.

Omri Caspi 4.5

In the eyes of many, the fact that Caspi is back to play this season is a kind of miracle.

The forward has not played for a year, many have already mourned his career, but he is here again.

It's far from being the same player in terms of physical abilities, nor did limiting his minutes help.

Bottom line: 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds for those marked as the Yellows' savior early last season.

Sandy Cohen 4.5 It's

hard to digest the citizen, who during the season missed long sections due to a trip to the US and then fell ill in Corona. He only appeared in 12 games, less than eight minutes to the evening, after on several occasions he got the stage from a number. A good Euroleague, even though it has potential.Ante

Žižić 4

The first senior player in the line of disappointments The Croatian center's numbers, which were brought in as the theft of the year in Europe, are not bad - eight points and five rebounds in less than 19 minutes. for the entire season Z'iz'itz not proven itself over time, suffering from too many games fell, and despite the opening quintet was at least good chin group. it tenth turnover dropped from 11 points to 6.3, and no way to get away from the term flop.

Dragan Bender 4

Friday in points in the team (5.6), Friday in rebounds (3.5), seventh in the index (4.6) and minutes (17.5), so why is Bender the biggest flop of the Yellows this season? Especially in light of the big credit he received and the belief that he will be Maccabi's solution in the power forward position. , the most problematic of yellow season. Bender returned after several years in the NBA, and was unable to make a legitimate Euroleague player.

not playing enough pitcher

Get a score:

Idan Albert, Yonatan Atias, Dori Sahar, TJ Klein.

And what about the coach?

Yannis Sapropoulos 5

Last season he almost got the nickname "Magician" in light of the great success and the fact that he led Maccabi Tel Aviv to fourth place in the Euroleague.

The Corona season should be taken in the right proportions, and there does not seem to be any concern for his status for next season, but it is also impossible to completely clear the Greek coach of guilt over the bad season of Maccabi Tel Aviv.

His team has lost a huge amount of close games, as it seems to be failing to position in the decisive moments.

She has dropped too many key games and finds herself with no real chance of qualifying for the playoffs, with just under a third of the games left until the end of the season.
