Israeli League, Season 2009-10
|
|
| The Israeli League starts with the same script as in recent years: All the teams are trying to beat mighty Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv. Of course, Maccabi is the team to beat, as it lifted 38 Israeli League titles in the last 40 years. Moreover, Maccabi put together an outstanding roster with new arrivals like Chuck Eidson, Andrew Wisniewski, Maciej Lampe, Doron Perkins, Alan Anderson and Stephane Lasme. The fact that the title is decided in a final four format adds a little bit of drama and gives a bigger chance to teams like Hapoel Migdal Jerusalem, Hapoel Holon, Bnei Hasharon or Maccabi Haifa. Jerusalem landed Tre Simmons, Leo Lyons and Dijon Thompson as its new stars. Holon, the league winner in 2008, relies on John Thomas and Dwayne Mitchell. Bnei Hasharon inked Matt Haryasz and kept Ugonna Onyekwe. Last year finalists' Haifa landed teen superstar Jeremy Tyler to play with Davon Jefferson and Ido Kozikaro. Altshuler Saham Galil Gilboa, Ironi Nahariya and Maccabi Rishon Lezion will battle for a playoff spot, but will need to climb high to make it to the Final Four. |
