Maccabi Haifa lands Jeremiah Kreisberg
The big man signs for two years
The Maccabi Bazan Haifa professional basketball team announced today they have signed center Jeremiah Kreisberg through the 2016-17 season. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Kreisberg, 22, competed for Israel’s U20 national team (along with current Maccabi Haifa teammate Oz Blayzer) at the 2011 European Championships, tallying 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 27.3 minutes over 6 games. He won a silver medal for Team USA at the 2009 Maccabiah Games.
The 6-foot-10, 235 center spent four years as a member of the Ivy League Yale Bulldogs from 2010-14, averaging 6.9 points and 4.2 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game while shooting 49.8 percent from the field over three seasons.
During his freshman season in 2010-11, Kreisberg was a recipient of the John C. Cobb Award as Yale’s rookie of the year. As a sophomore in the 2011-12 season, Kreisberg started every game for the Bulldogs, who won 19 games that year, the most by a Yale team since 2001-02. He did not play his senior season due to injury, and transferred to Northwestern as a fifth-year senior.
Kreisberg was a 2010 McDonald’s All-America nominee in leading his high school team, Head-Royce, to back-to-back 27-win seasons.
A native of Berkeley, California, Kreisberg has made Aliyah and received Israeli citizenship for the upcoming 2015-16 season.
