For months now, Boston Celtics fans have looked overseas to the Israeli Premier Basketball League to watch the slow but steady progress in 2020 NBA draft stashed point guard prospect Yam Madar, who has become a well-rounded floor general with his team Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Having improved his 3-point shooting from just 26.7% to 40.6%, and improved his counting stats from 10.06 points, 2.41 rebounds, 3.38 assists, and a steal per game to 16.51 points, 2.86 boards, 5.14 assists, and 1.23 steals per contest in just one season, Madar became the youngest player in the Israeli Premier Basketball League’s history to win their Most Improved Player award.
Slated to join the Boston Celtics in Las Vegas Summer League, our favorite Celtics youTube chronicler Tomasz Kordylewski put together a scouting video to let fans know what they can expect of the Beit Dagan native.
