Hapoel Tel Aviv Basketball Team Debuts New Tall Starting Lineup
Hapoel Tel Aviv basketball club kicked off their season on Thursday with a surprising starting five against Bayern Munich, featuring a taller lineup than previously seen. The new starting unit included Vasilije Micić, Elijah Bryant, J'shawn Winnright, Zach LeDay, and Dan Orthe. Winnright, who played power forward last season, shifted to small forward, allowing the team to field a significantly larger starting five.
LeDay is set to be the team's starting power forward, known as one of the EuroLeague's top three-point shooters, having shot 49.5% from beyond the arc last season. Winnright and Bryant were absent from the Super Cup, where the starting lineup consisted of Bar Timor, Antonio Blakeney, Micić, LeDay, and Orthe.
The heights of the new starting five are: Vasilije Micić (1.96m), Elijah Bryant (1.96m), J'shawn Winnright (1.96m), Zach LeDay (2.02m), and Dan Orthe (2.08m). This lineup emphasizes height and shooting prowess as the team begins its campaign.
