Maccabi Tel Aviv, despite a significant EuroLeague road victory against Valencia, holds a 4-2 record after six rounds and is actively seeking an additional guard to strengthen its thin backcourt. The team is looking for a scoring guard who can immediately impact the offense and integrate well with the team.
With most top European players already signed, Maccabi and other clubs are turning their attention to the American market. As the NBA season approaches, numerous teams are releasing players from their rosters. Over 100 players have been waived following training camps as NBA teams finalize their rosters.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly considering several recently waived NBA players who fit their profile. These include Brandon Boston Jr., who struggled in his first European season with Fenerbahçe but has NBA experience; the player, a former lottery pick who played for Toronto and Brooklyn last season; Malachi Burnham, who spent time with Washington last season after two seasons with San Antonio; and Kobi Baafin, a talented guard who has dealt with injuries but excelled in the G League.
Other potential targets include Alondes Williams, a prolific G League scorer who has also played in China; Antonio Reeves, a strong shooter who spent last season primarily in the G League with Charlotte's development team; John Poulianidis, a Greek-American guard who played for Dallas and has drawn interest from Olympiacos; and Jameer Young, a G League standout who recently had a temporary contract with the Lakers. These players, having been released from NBA or G League contracts, may be open to opportunities in European basketball.
