IMHO, good signing.

So if Marco Killingsworth was signed, it seems like this is the team so far (correct me if I'm wrong):

PF - Marco Killingsworth - Yoni Nir
SF - Sylven Landesberg - Sasha Bratic
C - (foreigner) - Robert Rothbart
PG - Derek Glasser - Avi ben Chimol
SG - Derrick Low* - Frank Robinson

*Though Low is a true (small) 2-guard, he can play the point. Moving Robinson to start at the 2.

I dunno what in Elad Hasin plans, but back in Natania Killingsworth played at C position with Rothbart as back-up. The very same situation with Bratic - Nir @PF position in Holon , the only difference that Nir was a starter there due to BSL restrictions

I see the team signed Larry O'Bannon to replace the the injured Derek Glasser. Any news on his injury?

[ArnoldPettybone]

Any news on his injury?

Ankle injury, at least 3 months out

Thanks. Somebody better keep a lookout on Dan Grunfeld and Sylven Landesberg, after Jon Scheyer and now Derek Glasser, all the best U.S. Jewish rookie imports are getting hurt.

And do you guys have a render for after renovation completed Romema Arena?

Thanks guys

5,000 seats isnt enough tho. Israel needs some more new 10-15k arenas (eg for M.Haifa, Netanya, H.Jerusalem, and etc)

Are they down to national league now after the regular season is done?

[MaccabiTA]

Are they down to national league now after the regular season is done?

No, they're playing a series against Ashkelon now (best of five) loser will be relegated. Haifa won the first game that was played in Haifa

Talk about a disapointing season.

Anyone have any news on Derek Glasser? Is he planning on playing next season?
