As the NBA season approaches, over 100 players have been released by league teams, creating a potential pool of talent for European clubs, including Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Israeli basketball club is actively seeking a scoring guard to strengthen its backcourt, which has been a point of concern following a 4-2 start in the EuroLeague.
Maccabi Tel Aviv, despite a recent significant road win against Valencia, is looking to improve its roster depth. With top European talent already signed, the team, like others in Europe, is now exploring the NBA's recently released players. This influx of talent comes as NBA teams finalize their rosters before the season opener.
Several players released from NBA training camps and teams could be viable options for Maccabi. Among them is 24-year-old Brandon Boston Jr., who struggled in his European debut with Fenerbahce but has NBA experience. The player, a former lottery pick who played for Toronto and Brooklyn last season, is also available. Malaki Branham, a 2022 draft pick, and the player, a 2023 draft pick who excelled in the G League, are also noted as potential targets.
Other players of interest include Alondes Williams, a prolific G League scorer who has also played in China. The player, a Greek-American guard with strong shooting abilities, is reportedly being considered by Olympiacos. Jimmer Young, another G League standout with strong scoring and playmaking skills, was recently released by the Lakers after a temporary contract and has previously been linked to Israeli teams.
These players, many with previous NBA experience or strong G League performances, represent a range of options for Maccabi Tel Aviv as they search for a player who can make an immediate impact on their offense and integrate well with the team.
