Israeli Posed for NBA Draft First Round

by Eric on June 25, 2009

Omri Cassipi, a 6′ 9″ Macabbi Tel Aviv veteran is in the sights of the NBA. Word is that the Portland Trailblazers have their eyes set on Cassipi, who has spent 4 years on the Tel Aviv team, a member of the Euroleague.

Few Israelis have actually made it into the NBA, though many have tried. The JTA has a comprehensive history of failed NBA attempts. I wish Cassipi luck in his bid for the world’s top basketball league.
