After two years that did not take place due to the restrictions of the Corona epidemic, the European Under-16 Championship returns, and will officially open on Friday in North Macedonia, when the Israeli national team will participate in Tier A and try to continue the wonderful summer that Israel's national teams have had so far.
Ahead of the tournament, FIBA representatives rated the 12 promising and intriguing players in the competition, and awarded the prestigious choice to the young and talented guard of Hapoel Emek Hefer - Ben Sharaf.
The FIBA wrote in regards to the selection of Sharaf and complimented: "Sharaf presented a great Challenger tournament last year, with averages of 15 points and 2.8 assists per game.
Considering the fact that he played with a yearbook that is a year older than his age, we can expect him to be one of the stars of the tournament this season as well."
The FIBA continued: "At 1.95 m tall, he is very suitable for the modern game as a high ball carrier.
He has exceptional shooting for his age and can consistently create points for himself and his teammates." In conclusion, they stated: "With him, Israel definitely has a chance to finish on the podium of the U16 European Championship."
