Sacramento Picks Emmanuel Sharp in Draft, Yaaqov Still Waiting
Sacramento selected American-Israeli guard/shooter Emmanuel Sharp with the 45th pick in the second round of the NBA Draft. Sharp, a University of Houston standout and the son of Maccabi Tel Aviv legend Derrick Sharp, is now hoping to secure a contract and realize his NBA dream.
The selection came in what the article described as a special night for Israeli basketball. Sacramento, the former team of Omri Casspi, is one of the NBA's youngest rosters and had used the seventh overall pick only a day earlier on point guard Darius Acuff Jr.
The report also noted that another Israeli guard, Yaakov, was still waiting to be picked as live updates from the second round continued. The article was published on June 25, 2026, at 05:00.
