Tikteknu: today's summary clip, 9.8 (Sport1)

This summer Israeli basketball counts two members in the top five of the European Reserve and Youth Championships, and hopes that the star of the cadet team Ben Sharaf will complete the trio in the tournament that will start on Saturday.

In the meantime, Europe is impressed by the star of Israel's youth team, Noam Yaakov, who entered the top five of the tournament even though Elad Hassin's team only finished in eighth place.



"Israel produces an impressive battery of guards, year after year," they wrote in "Basketnews" referring to Yaakov, after Noam Dovaret was also selected for the top five of the tournament under the age of 20. "Dovaret was perhaps the best coordinator in the European Championship for reserve teams, and in the youth championship it was Noam's turn Yaakov, who stands out as one of the most talented coordinators of his generation."

Impressive ability.

Yaakov was described as a "pick and roll master", and statistical support was brought to the evidence: Yaakov was involved in an average of 6.3 pick and rolls per game in the championship, and produced 1.09 points per move from them - an impressive figure by all accounts.

"He just instinctively knows when to pass and when to throw. And if he passes, he knows how to distribute the most correct pass and it is comfortable. In these situations, he plays like a Swiss army knife. When the ball is in his hands, the defense has no time to blink," we noted.



In the report on Yaakov, we noted that the shooting element from the outside still needs improvement with Yaakov, even though he was accurate on 39% of the three-pointers in the tournament.

In conclusion, the writer explained, "My gut feeling is that in a short time, we will be able to start judging Jacob when he gets significant minutes at the higher levels, which is quite exciting."
