Yaniv Solomon ('94) has a dream. The 6'5'' forward from Israel is playing in his home country with Maccabi Rishon Le Zion, averaging 24.5 points, 14.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists in the U18 israeli championship. We contacted him: "this year my goal is led the israeli U18 squad to Division A again. I believe that me and my teammates will do that challenge this summer".

 

Solomon played last summer the U18 Division "B" EC in Varna (Bulgaria), ending with 6.4 points and 3.3 boards. The prospect explains that "as any other professional player my goal is to get to the top level, starting in the european teams and finishing in the NBA. Every day I amb thinking how can I get better personally and mentally". And over all the countries he dreams with Spain. Solomon adds that "finding a good program in Spain could be an excellent opportunity for me to improve and turn to a top level. Making my dream come true is always the first priority and I'll be happy to make the needed sacrifices to get there".
