Noam Yaacov | Israel 🇮🇱 | Full Highlights from

Position: Point Guard
Birth Date: October 20, 2004 (18 years old)
Height: 1.86m
Tournament Statistics: 16.1 PPG, 7.6 APG, 4.4 RPG, 1.0 SPG
Yaacov's masterful performance against France - 31 points and 5 assists, shooting 11-for-16 from the field - was not enough for Israel to take the U20 title home but Yaacov certainly made his mark in Heraklion. The tournament's leader in assists showed his profile as a floor general who is able to control the tempo of the game and consistently make the right decisions with the ball in his hands. Yaacov is also able to call his own number, being a creative ball-handler and crafty finisher at the rim.
The 18-year-old guard already made his senior national team debut earlier in 2023 and should be expected to be a valuable piece among the talented young core of the Israeli national team.

He's so tuff

[@temakozlovski8435]

Wow!

[@itay7884]

The play where he assist to deni wolf 10 seconds to the end of the 4th in the finals was THE play of the U20 this year if israel won everyone would remember that

[@shlomtzi84]

Pure talent, if he was 10 cm taller he would have made it to the NBA. But definitely can be a euroleage star

[@daniellevin5002]

But he's only 18 yo with a good diet and good sleep he can stil grow a little bit and still he is 1.85 cm theres players on the nba on this height

[@shlomtzi84]

@@daniellevin5002 Well, usually the NBA doesn't draft global players in this height. But hopefully you are right, i think he has Tony Parker in him

[@Yonatan...]

He can get to the nba without +10 cm, I can see him going there

[@biggie8038]

You have trae young which is a solid point guard in the league at the same height, I think Noam can play at this level as well
