Quote:sofo loves blatt,it's pretty sure here in greece,believe me.what about ohayon?you didn't tell me.can he be a starter in euroleague level or this is a ''blatt-trick'' for the adriatic games?and do you know the number of the money smith farmar and papaloukas signed in their contracts per year?
I answered about Ohayon in the Euroleague signings and rumors thread, you can read it there
As for Smith I'm not sure, I think around 400K is what was published here, Farmar is here for 25k/50k per month first it was published he gets 25k then they said 50k, I guess the latter is the right one. Papaloukas from what was said in Israel is getting around 400k-500k, all the sums are in $ of course Maccabi is old school, always paying in dollars, except for rare occasions
Quote:I haven't seen Jon Scheyer yet playing but as every newcomer in europe -I think- he'll has a tough time adapting into european style of play. He's young and he needs space to show his talent. Is not easy for anyone to go from the NCAA straight to the Euroleague, especially in a big club with big expectations like Maccabi, and show what he's got from the very first games. He needs time!@smooth criminal, I don't think Ohayon should be in Maccabi's roster. He's not for that level.
Scheyer definitely needs some time, the potential is there, no doubt, but it's gonna take him a while, last games in 'chance cup' he seemed to have made some progress, I believe that eventually he can become a solid contributor in Maccabi.
As for Ohayon, right now he's not worth more than 10mpg in Euroleague and high Adriatic level, he's getting more minutes than expected for 2 reasons
1.He's surprisingly good, made a big progress
2.Maccabi's guard rotation is still missing one player, he's enjoying that so far.
He can become a legitimate back-up PG in Euroleague level but for that he needs to improve his shooting from mid-range and 3.
