The Israeli basketball club Hapoel Tel Aviv, despite boasting a deep and quality roster this season, may encounter significant challenges in game management due to a perceived lack of capable point guards. According to a discussion on the "Double Dribble" program, the team currently has only one recognized point guard, Vasilije Micić, and even his performance is described as mood-dependent.
Commentators criticized other players in the role, with one stating that "Sturgesky cannot bend his back" and is a "huge hole in defense," concluding he is "not up to the level." Another player, Eugene German, was deemed unnecessary given the presence of Antonio Blakeney, and his departure is seen as a priority.
Suggestions for improvement include acquiring D'Angelo Russell, who is described as a suitable point guard recently released from Memphis, or Tamir Blatt, considered a more classic point guard option. The team's decision to keep its 16th roster spot open is interpreted as a potential move to sign Blatt.
Chris Jones, a former player, is mentioned as an example of a player who, while not a classic point guard, effectively managed the game, a role the current team is seen as lacking.
