I would like to add some comments to the profile.
- He is very good passer: He have the combination of court vision, as you mentioned, and the ability to pass very acuratlly to a moving player.
- He started playing profecional basketball at the age of 15, and this is the reason of most of his weaknesses, especially bad shot mechanics.
- I think he does understand the team defence, but sometimes loosing his atention, like falling asleep.

1. Now Lior Eliyahu tottaly back from the injury (he broke his had). He played two weaks before for 15 minuts, but still with pains. Tomoro he expected to play a normal game.

I see you don't follow Lior Eliyahu anymore... since his injury (he broke his hand but recoverd already).

He had some good game peronally latly, and improved many things at his game...

Besides, he will participate at draft 2006.

we definitely still do. There just isn't a whole lot to say about him at this point. His people in Israel say that they aren't even sure that they are going to enter the draft.

Strange, at the media it is told that he intendes to perticipate at draft 2006. Also he works with a coach individually to iprove his shot.

Very lately his shot looks pretier, but the most impresive improvement is at his ball-handling. Since he came back from the injury, the ball passes through his hands almoust every attacks. He makes good decisions, and almoust not loosing the ball.

At the last 4 games at Isreali league he has the sum of 18 asists and 9 tornovers.

He is a little bit underastimated, because many spoken about his athletizem and his touch under the basket, but what would make the difference for him at the NBA is his high basketball-IQ and passing ability.
