Seven weeks into the EuroLeague season, Israeli basketball clubs Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv are on divergent trajectories according to a new power ranking by BasketNews. Hapoel Tel Aviv has climbed from sixth to fourth place, establishing itself as one of the league's most intriguing teams. The ranking, based on current performance, squad quality, and future potential, highlights Hapoel's successful strategy of building on last year's foundations. Player Elijah Bryant is noted as an early MVP candidate, and Amir Coffey is praised for his adaptation to his first season outside the United States. Hapoel's rise places them above prominent clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Partizan Belgrade, and Zalgiris Kaunas.

Maccabi Tel Aviv, in contrast, has dropped from 13th to 15th place. With only two wins in their first seven games, the team faces criticism for its performance and struggles to integrate its roster. "Things are not connecting" within the team, the website noted. Keaton Wallace, a key summer acquisition, is identified as a disappointment, averaging a mere 4.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists with a performance index rating of just 3 over eight appearances. Even Besiktas, a newcomer to the league, is ranked higher than Maccabi at 14th, partly due to their victory over Maccabi.

The power ranking places Panathinaikos at the top, followed by Fenerbahce and Olympiacos, with Hapoel Tel Aviv completing the top four. Real Madrid is ranked seventh, and Barcelona is 11th, while Baskonia, Paris, and Villeurbanne are at the bottom.
