Holon's big guy is ready for Igokea
Hapoel Netanel Holon and Igokea m:tel meet once again in the BCL, and Holon are feeling good about that matchup, as they had success against the Bosnia and Herzegovina champions in the Play-Ins in 2023, scoring 91 and 103 in those two games to advance to the Round of 16.
Nowadays, they are in desperate need of any kind of win. They started the season on a 0-2 record, which means that Igokea, currently at 1-1, will pull away to two games' advantage if they win on Tuesday.
A highly motivated Holon will surely look towards their best player of the season so far. While he is worth 18 of your 55 efficiency points, it seems like he's undervalued when you observes his last two games in the Israeli League.
Marcus Bingham Jr. had his career-high as a pro on October 14, putting up 27 points against Hapoel Haifa, while also grabbing 7 rebounds, with 2 steals and a block also to his name.
He followed it up with 9 points and 12 rebounds three days later, against Hapoel Galil Elyon, all while avoiding turnovers and fouls in his 35 minutes of playing time.
In those two wins, Bingham played a total of 68 out of 80 minutes available, he missed just three shots from the field and two free throws, collecting a combined efficiency rating of 51.
It's not unusual for the 24-year-old to have these kinds of numbers, as he also had a 22-point, 27-rebound game last season, playing for Hapoel Haifa against Hapoel Beer Sheva this past May.
He played 15 games in the Israeli League last season with an average efficiency rating of 19.1, so don't be surprised if he keeps his numbers this high all year long.
