Regarding Mayer, the young center is considered one of the intriguing talents of Israeli basketball and received interest and offers from a large number of teams in the Premier League after he averaged impressive 18.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists in the European Youth Championship.
After the successful championship, the young talent of Maccabi Tel Aviv asked for time to consider his future and is expected to make a decision in the coming days. According to sources privy to the details and despite offers from teams in the league, the young center is expected to accept Maccabi Tel Aviv’s offer and continue with his youth club under a new contract for several seasons, with one of the main reasons for this being his special relationship with coach Oded Ketch.
