Profile Pic: Nimorod Levi

?In his previous term, when he was only 24 years old, Nimrod Levi, together with Hapoel Model 19/20, were on the safe way to the decisive stages in each of the comptetions when only a global epidemic stopped the Reds from a dream season. Then, Levi's role was extremely important. In a team with a fairly established front line, a very talented foreign guard squad and versatile and stable forwards - Nimrod Levi was the connecting link. This joker, who brings shooting from beyond the arc, can take the ball down the floor, work in the paint for himself, and also create for others.

 

Since then, the talented forward recorded two successful seasons in the Galil where he remained steady at an average of 13 points and 7.5 rebounds and embarked on a fairly successful professional outing in Turkey. Now, Nimrod returns to Red - with a similar role. He entered the squad with a fairly established front line, which was recently strengthened with the signing of Jacorey Williams, a very talented back line with explosive guards, and versatile and talented forwards. and he? You have to do exactly what he knows - a little bit of everything.

 

One of the important (and rare) abilities that Levi brings to the table is his ability, as tall (2.08 m), to play outside the arc. And no, it's not just about shooting. The fact that with his size, Nimrod is able to bring the ball to the floor, create shooting situations for himself or alternatively penetrate to the basket - is a huge advantage for any attack that wants another spacing tool.

 

 

Of course, Nimrod Levi's main weapon when it comes to spacing beyond the arc is the three-pointer. Levi has not dropped below 34% from beyond the arc in all of the last three seasons as he shoots at a very high volume with an average of 5 shots from beyond the arc a game. Nimrod manages to get his shots both as a pick-and-roll player who, instead of rolling inside, goes outside to shoot, and also as a wing player who takes advantage of opportunities from other people's pick-and-roll moves. As mentioned, versatility.

 

 

Also in terms of his passing ability and vision of the game, Nimrod Levi fits perfectly into the complementary tall position, in a front line with tall men whose comfortable living space is the paint. With big men who know how to take their position in the paint and complete points - an additional, tall axis that can deliver the balls in to them - is critical and very effective.

 

 

Hapoel Model 23/24, is built on its ability to tighten the defense at crucial moments in the game, and to take advantage of the interceptions and stops for easy points on the other side. The first part is the defensive part, in which Hapoel proved its ability to stop any team in the past. In the second part, the transition offense, the signings of two mobile and fast talls, such as Jacorey Williams and now Nimrod Levi, will greatly help the Reds in the job.

 

 

Besides the important depth addition, which itself is one of the main weapons of the Reds this season, Nimrod Levi is an excellent match for Hapael when it comes to the skill set on the field. Shooting from outside the arc from the 4 position, spacing by lowering the ball to the floor, functioning as a complementary tall with game vision and the transition game, are just a part of the versatile skill set of the red forward. A set of abilities that the worker hopes to use, and leverage up to victories.
