In the latest episode of the "Double Dribble" podcast, hosts Dror Hoffman and Roi Zuckerman discussed Maccabi Tel Aviv's first EuroLeague victory, focusing on the team's backcourt performance. Hoffman suggested that coach Oded Katash is pairing players into specific duos, noting combinations like Lonzi Lundberg and Yam Madar, and Keaton Wallace with Jimmer Clark.
Hoffman specifically highlighted Madar as the player most capable of generating points among the guards, estimating his potential at 13-14 points per game, though not necessarily 17-18. He believes Madar's offensive contributions are currently the best among the guards, rating his season start at an eight out of ten. Hoffman feels Madar is currently holding the team's backcourt together, especially as other guards have not yet reached their expected performance levels.
Zuckerman offered a slightly more reserved assessment of Madar's start, rating it a 6-7 out of ten, citing a disappointing double-game week. However, he agreed that Madar is currently Maccabi Tel Aviv's leading guard after four games. Zuckerman pointed out that Madar's strong start is amplified by the fact that no other guards on the team have performed up to expectations this season.
