Casspi moves to the NBA

The first Israeli ever to be selected in the first round of the NBA draft is ready to make the leap and move overseas. Omri Casspi signed a three-year deal with the Sacramento Kings, the team that drafted him, and is expected to earn around 2 million euros.
The 21-year-old forward grew up in Hapoel Holon and later played for Hapoel Galil Elyon and Maccabi Tel Aviv, with which he averaged 8.8 points and 3.1 rebounds this season in the Euroleague.
