Wilbkin's Dilemma: The one who was all around, was not the leader figure Israel today

2022-06-25T12:19:01.455Z


One of the greatest foreigners who was at Maccabi Tel Aviv leaves without leaving a team mark • Maybe now, when he moves to Fenerbahce - the Yellows can really start again


There is talk of a revolution in Maccabi Tel Aviv and the big change has a symbol - Scotty Wilbkin. The departure of the player, who moves to Fenerbahce, is much more than a star who moves to another team. This is going to be a drastic change of direction.

In terms of talent - this is one of the biggest in Europe and one of the biggest in Maccabi Tel Aviv. But in terms of the impact on the team's achievements, Scotty is far from it, and he leaves without recording one significant achievement at the team level. Like the big Euroleague guards: Shane Larkin and Mike James, but in terms of his impact on the team and the ability to take it on his back, it's not even close.

Four seasons this team revolves around Wilbkin.

Maybe that was one of the problems.

Everyone knew that if you arrested him - you arrested Maccabi.

The big questions about him will remain without a solution or an unequivocal answer: Did his solo game hurt Maccabi, or maybe this game was the result of coaches who did not know how to use it correctly or did not build the team around him correctly.

But bottom line - it did not work.

And there is another important matter.

There is a difference between the main player that everything revolves around and the leader.

Wilbkin is not a leader and Maccabi lacks this figure.

He did not have the spirit to carry the team when it was difficult.

He expected his big basket to do it, but it was not enough.

Players need the player who will not give up, who will support them and be the example that leads them especially in difficult situations.

This creates a situation where the man around him is not the leader.

He goes, and it's good for both parties.

To Maccabi to start all over again.

With him it was not redone until the end.

This will solve the club from having to enslave the entire staff structure and game form to one player.

It will also turn the Yellows into large sums of money to rearrange the cards.

And on the other hand, it will give Wilbkin a new vibe, perhaps less pressure that will only fall on his shoulders and a challenge that will allow him to stretch the boundaries of the sector anew.

And perhaps, the move will allow him to finally achieve the real team achievement - and stop them from saying that Scotty is just a talented player.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
