Maccabi Tel Aviv 2017 roster, stats and best five

10 draftable players from Maccabi Tel Aviv's 2017 season — full stat lines, a suggested best five, and how this board plays in Road to Glory.

When the draw lands on Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2017, this is the board: 10 draftable basketball players, led by Pierre Jackson at PIR 14.3. You draft exactly one of them for the slot you spun, and they must be placed at a position they actually played — 4 of the 10 can play the point and 4 can play the big spots.

6 of these players count as underdogs (peak PIR under 10), so this club-season is also drawable in Make the Playoffs.

The best five to draft from this roster

Filling the point, two wings and two big spots by PIR while respecting placement rules gives this five. Together they are strongest in scoring and thinnest in efficiency — if you are only drafting one player from this board, the biggest lift usually comes from whoever covers the category your existing four are missing.

  • Pierre Jackson — PG · 14.5 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 4.2 APG · PIR 14.3
  • Norris Cole — PG · 12.6 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 3.8 APG · PIR 11.1
  • Alex Tyus — PF/C · 8.3 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 0.2 APG · PIR 10.9
  • Deshaun Thomas — SF/PF · 11.5 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 1.2 APG · PIR 9.6
  • Artsiom Parakhouski — C · 7.6 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 0.3 APG · PIR 9.1

How this board plays

In Classic every stat line above is visible during the draft. In Hidden mode you get only the names and positions, so knowing that Pierre Jackson led this team is the edge. With 6 underdogs, it is also a workable board for Make the Playoffs.
