Is Israel on its way to another representative in the NBA? May be so. Gabi Chachashvili recently received a prestigious summons for the Golden State Warriors mini-camp, to which he is expected to leave in mid-June.
This is a camp that centers mainly on promising players from Europe, with NBA teams examining whether they can fit into the best league in the world. The outstanding players of these camps may receive a summons to the summer league – and that is what the Israeli chin is aiming for.
The 21-year-old Chachashvili, who recently finished his Premier League debut season, showed good ability at Hapoel Galil Elyon when he finished with 7.9 points and 5.2 rebounds. He has now completed his contract with the team and is considered one of the most sought after players in the league, with Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Jerusalem and Hapoel Holon following him closely, in addition to several teams in Europe that have already approached his agent Nadav Moore from You First and expressed interest.
Chachashvili, who suffered a serious knee injury several years ago, has made great progress in the last two years: he was promoted to the league with Hapoel Galil Elyon, and last season, under Barak Peleg and Yonatan Alon, made another leap and also received his debut for the Israeli national team.
