Yaniv Green - EuroBasket 2009 Profile

Team 2008-09: MACCABI TEL AVIV (Israel-BSL)
Career: Bnei Hertzelia (Israel-D1, 1998-2000), Maccabi Ra'anana (Israel-D1, 2000-01), Bnei Hertzelia (Israel-D1, 2001-02), Hapoel Tel Aviv (Israel-BSL, 2002-04), Maccabi Tel Aviv (2004-07), CVV Samara (Russia-Superleague, 2007-08), Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel-BSL, 2008-...)

Another product of the U20 team that won silver in 2000 returned to Maccabi after one season in Russia with Samara, but what he's more famous for is his performances in EuroBaskets. In 2003 he led the tournament in 2FG%, while two years ago he was the best rebounder and 4th best shot blocker. He finished all his last three EuroBaskets with great numbers in those three categories and a wonderful feel as one of the best inside players in the competition. Green is a strong and very athletic inside player who makes the most of every minute on court. EuroBasket is when he shines, and this round shouldn't be different.
