Maccabi Tel Aviv is actively searching for a new guard after a disappointing start to their EuroLeague season, having lost four of their first five games. Coach Oded Katash's team is looking for a player who can add another dimension to their offense, particularly in three-point shooting, which has been inconsistent.
The team previously signed Lior Lundberg mid-season last year, who proved to be a successful "glue guy." However, the current roster appears to need a "gunner" similar to Lonnie Walker and Jeff Dowtin, someone who can change games and integrate better with the team.
Several potential candidates are being considered. Tyler Dorsey, who was suspended by Olympiacos after public criticism, is seen as the best player on the list, though his departure from Olympiacos is uncertain and many EuroLeague teams would be interested. Lester Quinones, recently released by Miami, is noted for his excellent shooting and ability to create his own shot, making him a potential "perfect sixth man." Brandon Boston Jr., who played for Fenerbahce last year, is a fearless scorer but has struggled with consistent three-point shooting.
John Konchar, reportedly desired by Maccabi, is not a strong three-point shooter but is a large, strong guard who can drive to the basket. RJ Davis, a shooting guard with strong three-point accuracy, might be too short for the NBA and potentially the EuroLeague, but Maccabi's taller guards could compensate defensively. Darin Green, a former Hapoel Holon player familiar with the Israeli league, can shoot off the dribble and has already arrived in Israel, representing a potential option.
Finally, Nemanja Nedovic, who has been previously linked to Maccabi, is an experienced player who can shoot from three-point range. While he played for Katash at 36 and was seen as declining, he offers a familiar European presence, especially with Kiton Wallace expected to remain with the club.
