The passing ability is still quite outstanding! But should the Celtics second-round pick play more resolutely?

2:17am, 3 September 2025【Basketball】

In a previous group match between the men's basketball European Championship, Israel defeated Belgium 92-89. After this game, Israel's record increased to 3 wins and 1 loss, and has been qualified to qualify; while Belgium's record dropped to 1 win and 3 losses, and the prospect of qualifying is not optimistic.

In this game, Israel's starting point guard Yam Madar's performance was also considered to be moderate. Madal played 31 minutes and 16 seconds in the game, made 2 of 5 shots, 2 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 10 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, and had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. The plus and negative value was the highest +12 in the game. Madal did not get much out of the phone on the offensive end, but he also got a certain score, and his performance in passing and organization is still at a very high level. Madal's performance on the defensive end is pretty good, and he still shows high defensive aggression and personal defensive ability. Overall, Madal's performance in this game was not particularly outstanding, but he also played a role and made a huge contribution to the team's victory. Since the start of the European Championship, Madal has averaged 28.5 minutes in the first four games, with averaging 10.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2 steals, 1.8 turnovers and 2.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 37.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.3%, free throw shooting percentage of 90%, and averaging plus-negative value of +12.3. Madal's performance in these games is not bad. His organization and slew ability are obvious to everyone. His average assists can rank fourth among all players, which can fully illustrate this point. Madal's performance on the defensive end is not bad, and it can also play a big role. However, Madal does lack self-confidence in scoring. He is actually not without scoring ability, but he has controlled his shots in many games and his scoring ability has not been fully utilized.

Madal was born in December 2000 and is 24 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 82kg. He is the backcourt player selected by the Boston Celtics in the 47th pick in the second round in the 2020 NBA Draft. Madal has been selected by the Celtic for many years. Although he has not appeared in the NBA, his performance in the European arena is still improving. In the new season, he will also join the Israeli League giants Tel Aviv Maccabi, which also shows that his performance has been fully recognized. I don't know if he will perform better in the next game and will attract the attention of the Celtics.
