- The Tigers fall in their final game of their Israel trip.
The Israeli National team defeated Auburn 95-86 on Monday afternoon behind Deni Avdija's 25 points. Avdija was the No. 9 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
The Tigers struggled to stay in front of Israel, who ran some tremendous sets in the half court that Auburn continued to overcommit on. By virtue, Israel drew 46 fouls and shot over 40 free throws.
It was a great learning experience for Bruce Pearl's Tigers, who had cruised through their first two Israeli contests (119-56 win over the Israeli U-20 team, and a 107-71 win over the Israeli Select All-Star team).

Damn, this Israeli team is solid. Good atmosphere within the arena from the fans too, respect to Israel basketball .
that was 1st Israel national team game after long time without being assembled + while missing 3 of the starting 5. and overall most of the main gourds.
after 2 weeks practice for the national team - the game score wouldnt really be close, and thats fine.
those are pro's against young aggressive , athletic american players who represented their Team very well.
Only 3 days ago iSRAEL have won Georgia's national team twice on the road without Denni and already played much better.
@@SHLOMIYAN Those were grown men playing kids. Some of those men were drafted by NBA teams. Those kids gave that national team a good run.
@@lawrenceS59 im from Israel but lets not compare, i admit it our basketball is indeed not the best in the world and we have only 1 player representing us in the NBA we are not in the lvl of america.
@@lawrenceS59 which of the games are you referring to now?
If it is to the grown IL national team you are correct but not entirely.
1- if you look at IL's national team players age you will find out some of them are same age as those 'kids'. In europe 'kids' are finishing youth basketball and join the teams.
2- This was Israel's first game after long time not playing together , that was the beginning of Israel's practice game towards the summer European championship. for instance since then Israel had played 3 more practice games against other Nationat teams and beat Georgia's national team twice on the road , and yesterday have beaten the Romanian national by the exotic score of 112-61, all those games even without Deni Avdija.
Auborn players gave a really good fight but you do need to keep in mind that israel was missing 4 of its better guards including 2 starters.
if Israel will play Auborn now the score difference will be much larger even though American college players are notlacking phisicality against grown men. especially those from europe.
@@SHLOMIYAN I'm not talking about physicality. I'm talking about years playing basketball at a high level. The entire Auburn team is between 18 and 21 (and 1 super senior thats 25). I just checked the ages of the IL national team....there's really no comparison in age. They got a guy born in the 80s on that team. There's 1 or 2 people on that squad "near" the age of these college kids. They were supposed to lose.
Man the difference between pros and college teams are different. The baskets came a lot easier for the national team. A lot of passes/ extra passes. Auburn won’t see a team like this in college ever so they’re going to be really good. But again these are highlights and almost every bucket comes off an assist
That’s a lie kentucky way better
@@jasonstrunk9707 Kentucky is out there playing teams with age limits and a college in Mexico that couldn’t beat a juco team. Shut the hell up 😂😂😂 let’s see Kentucky play a high level team before we even think about bringing them up
@@jalenloe5 The Dominican team UK played would wax this Israeli team bro.
Arkansas fixing to woo pig that Auburn behind. 🐗
@@booyabig3265 Israel played without 7 players and still played in 3rd gear
You can easily tell from the 3rd quarter(when they played at much higher pace)
Love Deni man he’s really our defensive god and hopefully he gets more looks as the playmaking forward he is
His rebounding positioning needs work. loved most of what he did.
Yeah, he gets buried way deep in the bench along with Rui.
He should get more oportunities in Washington
@@alexanderlouelllopez5860 He's had lots of minutes to develop. To win over a long seaon requires a strong bench and the Wizards has that now. He will continue to play as his game improves.
@@markhathaway8431 he’s a good rebounder in the nba, he just focused on his offense more.
Avdija needs to be given the keys to an nba offense ! He can playmake n handle the rock excellently for a bigger guy. The wizards are failing to utilize him to his max potential
his handle is shakey. He needs to work on going left, otherwise people are gonna shade him heavy.
@@Bleop yea but he is getting robbed of getting better since the wizards just use him as spot up 3 shooter n D guy. He barely even bring the ball up. He got more potential than that.
There's 30 NBA offenses in the world. Deni doesn't deserve to be one of the 30 in the world with the keys to an offense, he ain't all that
@@FSVR54 keys is probably excessive yes but I do agree he needs to be given some driving time
Deni had a ton of ball handling responsibilities down the stretch last year. Diehard Wiz fan here. Deni has progressed nicely and should start all of next year. He would get eaten alive as a primary ball handler. He can’t go left much at all. But as a secondary handler and playmaker - yes 💯
Must be weird being in the NBA and playing vs college team lol
Israel’s ball movement is pretty good. I’m impressed.
Just got flashbacks to last season watching KD Johnson go to the basket out of control, flinging up some circus shot, hoping for the foul call. I love his energy, spirit, and hustle... and he's got talent. He's just got to realize when to turn it on and off.
No doubt...he's a love hate relationship.
He lost me so many bets 😂
Me personally I’m not a fan of his game I hate watching play.
Id pick him 10 out 10 times for my team
@@Dollar-zb2ik Yeah he's talented but he needs to make a few adjustments in his game. I am sure he will be much better this year.
The day Wendell Green decides to stop playing hero-ball is when Auburn will take the next step
Ima agree 100%
So never
God I hope the wizards let Deni shine more this year
They should just trade that stat padding SG they have,that guy aint good
@@HellusRaizen he's betta than deni . That's fosho.
@@onehand-yusuf7212 he better coz he frickin has the ball all the time
For Auburn to go up against a team of professionals and keep it that close of a game until the forth quarter, that says a lot for the caliber of players on this Auburn team.
Yes, but do keep in mind, this is a national team not an actual one. A lot of these guys never play together outside of the olympics and other major events
Yeah, the comment below is correct. However you would expect Auburn to blow out Israel. The are ranked 42 in the FIBA rankings. So they weren't exactly playing the top talent in that league.
@@thebryceisright4851 but they still got an nba player on the team. So it’s still worth noting how well they did. Also those fiba rankings are not entirely correct. They got Canada below Venezuela and Russia. And turkey is below Mexico💀
The college team has a more quicker flash year athletic isolated approached to the game where as the European team Has teamwork, move the ball slow, get a good shot approach to the game It was so cool to see two different styles of basketball mesh on 1 court
The last foul on Avdija, was so wrong. He didn't touch the Auburn player.
a lot of the fouls called in favor of Auburn never happened even in this video
Avdija is quick for his size so refs attend to give him the whistle every time just because they are lazy...
@@sharpshooterparker they definitely gave a lot of fouls u just didn't watch the game. I was there. Wendell green flopped a lot and got his calls
they always give the benefit of the doubt to the small player
Wendell Green Jr.!? Never heard of him, but I know about him now. Boy, got game!
Us SEC fans know him 😭. He is a sniper from deep.
I know Wendell Green! He is the guy that got teabaged by Devo Davis when Arkansas won that crazy game.
He has flashes of really good basketball but gets flustered especially during close games. He's very hard to trust down the stretch but has the confidence to think he's the guy to close out the game, which leads to many mistakes. The games auburn lost were due to his turnovers or bad shot selection down the wire. Hopefully he grows this season to be more of a composed leader with the ball especially for a point guard.
Michigan's finest!
I was hoping Yam Madar would be added to the Celtics roster for this upcoming season.
we need more israelis in the nba
He rejected the summer league to play for israel at the time, so maybe next year with Juhann again
@@bkak2245 he should have played in the summer league.
Those passes from Israel was clean
Honestly it’s obvious that if Deni wanted to take it to another level in this game he could LMAO
that transfer broome looked really good on offense loses his man on cuts a lot tho but that was the whole team this israel team is really talented
Yam Mader is the truth
Hope he jumps to the NBA this year
Wait this is actually crazy…. A D1 team barely losing to an entire Nation is just wild. Maybe we should get some D1 schools vs NBA team exhibitions
That would be hype af actually
I would like to see that. But let’s be honest, they played Israel. Now if it was France national team that’s something else
@@anthonyyoung5179 The game would be over in the first quarter if they played France 😆
That wouldn't even be fair. NBA teams would just annihilate the best D1 teams with just their third-string team playing.
@@anthonyyoung5179 but let’s be honest this was Auburn as well
Israel with serbian touch...Avdija's father is from Serbia, Madar plays in Serbia...😁 Love this team!
10:35 Nice "burek" move by young guy from Auburn. Deni was gone for one with cheese there 😅
Well auburn is already tourney ready with this test salute to them
チームメイトがシュートを決めた時、デニが小さく喜ぶ姿が好き。

Isreal and Auburn play was different. You can tell the difference between a professionals and amateurs (college). Look at the ball movement and how easy opportunities were for the Isreal national team. They were pretty much in cruise control the whole game. They are pro basketball players. They should win and make it look easy.
Auburn has guys who can play basketball and anybody who knows basketball or actually played at a high level would know that if you are really good and play at a high level, then you can hold your own talent wise on the court. The difference between these two teams is experience and IQ of the game.
Auburn will beat Montverde HS basketball team just off of experience and of course being older and more mature as well as talented.
This is no surprise.
I thought Israel should have won by more, especially with them having an nba player
I mean these are literally teenagers vs actual aduts and the game was fairly close and Auburn isnt even close to being the best college basketball team. So this doesnt really project well for the Isrealis
@@Scott-vk8cr Israel had 2 key players out. Also, adults? We're talking about 23, 24 year olds... that's not THAT much older. Aside from Guy Pnini who's 38 and barely gets any minutes anymore and Jake Cohen who's 32, I think, the rest are pretty much the same age, maybe 3-4 years older than the Auburn players.
@@Scott-vk8cr Adults? The main scorers for Israel were Deni and Yam (Deni had 25, Yam had 24) they're both 21 YO, the age of college players.
@@nshinsha669 these dummies are acting like this is the best Euro team
There’s a reason LaMelo got into the NBA & most of his teammates from Lithuania are still playing overseas
He went overseas as a teenager & was the best player over there
Most college ball players can go overseas & be the best player over there
The original post & the other dudes are just mad they lost to an overseas team lol
Bruhh i wish the Wizards gonna give Deni a bit more touches and set plays to use.
I love to see your college teams vs euro/foreign teams
If Avdija was drafted by a team like Toronto that is good at utilizing rookies and getting their best out of them, he would already be near an all star caliber guy. He is so talented. Wiz is wasting his talent by not giving him the keys to the offense. Let him run the 1!!!!
I remember when my Boston Celtics had drafted Yam I was like man we got a steal but when when the Wizards had drafted Demi I was like man this guy is steal look at him now I was right
Steal at #9 Deni Avdija? 😅
@@joselitodulay5997 Deni was in my eyes since he put on a wizards Jersey this man have been showing up
@@joselitodulay5997 Wizards just a bad fit for him
@@christopherellis9322 He hasnt prove anything yet to be a steal... If you are a lottery pick you have at least to become an all star to be considered a steal
@@DGismeraESP true but in my eyes he was showing up
This Avdija guy is the damn truth lmao
He’s goin into year 3 in the nba I would hope he dominated college players lol
too bad hes rotting away in DC hopefully he can go to a decent team
@@ordude123 Celtics should sign him when he becomes a free agent. We will have a Deni & Yam duo.
@@ordude123 They've looked at trading him and couldn't find a good deal. Now he's developed enough to keep and get good results from.
I’m glad to see Avdia dominated now let him shine trade him and zingus for KD
This what most teams should do
LFGGGGGG DENI
12:27 Yam pass was pure larry bird's style. great play by Auburn, playing this game will help them ahead
Game was a lot closer than I thought it would be
The extra pass from the pros is just different against 1 on 1 Auborn.
#9 pick? Damn
We're YOOUUNNG! AUSOME, that team has been playing together EVERYDAY with maybe 2 pros on it. Respect to the Israeli team and their fans. WDE~FAM!🦅🔥 🦅
Deni playing with these kids lol
Man i love how Green Jr gave these boys the WORK!
Flanigan and Moore we see you Representing Arkansas well!
WPS
Hogs wouldve won
lol no.
A 3 top Israeli players were missing in this game
All of our euroleague players
Yeh these dudes aren’t even professionals they in college
Yeah right
*College team
I really clicked this video expecting a fight and skipped through looking for where they “square off” ig I misread as “square up”
deni looks like lebron the difference in talent from him and others is crazy
Not exactly sure what coach wanted but I'm guessing for him to shoot it 1:06 😂
this shows you the differene betweenan average NBA player and a good D1 collgege player
ball movement was amazing🇮🇱
FUNDAMENTALS WILL ALWAYS BE KING
israel passing is amazing
デニも塁も積極的になると止められないよな〜
deni avdija can cook these kids easily...levels...how many from this auburn team can make the nba?
The difference between an nba player and a college player is unreal. Without Deni, I think auburn would have won this game. Good college teams can keep up with euro league teams but one nba player makes a huge difference
No they cannot keep up with Euroleague teams. Each Euroleague team is basically composed like this: 5 American former college stand-out players who did not make to the NBA + 5 players who play for some national team on par with this Israeli team + young talented teenagers who would make any top college team roster.
Even NBA teams stopped playing pre-season games against Euroleague teams because they were losing too many of those and it did not look good for the league from a marketing POV.
@@pangruel2268 a good college team can definitely keep up, as we saw on the video
@@joedirt4579 It can cope with Isreal without 2/5ths of its starters (Tamir Blatt, Yovel Zoosman). Most Euroleague teams are much better than the Israeli national team, no disrespect to them.
I still remember people saying NCAA is way better than euroleague :)
i often heard the guards on auburn held jabari smith back n he wouldve been a lot better if the guards didn't play the way they did and those people who said that were right. If these r the guards he had to play with i see why he didn't go off for 25 a night.
Mann that was grown men playing against college kids....the point gaurd from Auburn looked like he was still in middle school
Yam needs to get stronger in the upper body to get to the NBA. Great game tho.
Wow israel kicked their butt. What a great national team. Good effort by auburn and shud be a contender this year if they fix a lot of their shooting n defense. Granted israeli passing was on another level
Definitely didn’t kick their butt but aight
@Nolan Shaw How is going back to a 12 point lead after dropping it to 2, and at some points even losing the game 3 times in one game, NOT kicking their butts, tell me.
Should let Jabari and Kessler play here before NBA games 🤣
2:43 no way 😂😂
This is fuckin hilarious XDD
im actually surprised Auburn kept it close
I remember when youtuber wanna be draft scouts convince everyone that Deni was the most talented and should be the #1 pick in the 2020 draft...
They should of played Duke or Gonzaga
Is a TEST different than a test?
KD is not gonna make the league playing reckless like this
He’s not making the league period he’s not even the best player on the team. And he’s not a point guard or a great shooter.
Y’all be hyping anything up. Israel was missing 11 players, including 3 starters too
bro its a college team againts a national team💀💀
It’s still a national team vs a college team with nba players on the court
@@cataterat8 but most of them are the same age. Most of Israel players wasn't playing. Plus Israel age average is 19-23. Most of auburns is 19-21. So not much difference. Just auburn a little overated this year. No low list game like they had last year
lmao the fuck does that mean😂😂 niggas just played against pros give it a break
@@kingmoha4151 Kentucky played against a national team and won by 24 a week ago.
Tienen darle más bola más tiros más protagonismo avdija ya en los wizards
That national team should've went against Duke lol
You're saying this as if Israel was the organizer. This was an Auburn initiative as a training camp, and I think they did a fantastic job. They really showed some great basketball. Especially against the cadet team the day before.
This is also something to note, for Auburn this was a back-to-back game. They beat the cadet team by like 30 points, but they lost this one which is understandable, to say the least.
@@vl3005 No I'm just saying in general one of the two teams should have organized the event.
I mean just let Auburn play US Allstar team! Lol
This is why you should never compare the level of play between college basketball and European pro basketball. These pro guys play basketball for a living while the college guys play and at the same timerequired to comply with their college requirements.
this game was a little scoffed. Israel got a dunk at 88 but it didn't go to 90 until the opposing team scored.
Antisemitism
Dani
They said “test their strength” like Auburn won or something.
Israeli team were all grown ass man yet they played it close plus before this game they also play Israel u20 team and won
nobody gon comment on how much money these programs have to play preseason games in Israel lol
lol for real. i'm sure the players had a nice trip doe
I wish Kentucky actually had good competition playing in the Bahamas they destroyed the first 2 teams they've played
Carleton will be a good test
@@oldcat7 apparently not
@@jessevinson3621 Yeah. Carleton was missing two guys but apparently it was still embarrassing for them. They hadn't been beat by 40+ points in like 18 years.
@@oldcat7 we've seen blowouts like this before but usually it's because of pure bully ball but they passed well, defended we'll and hit outside shots. I'm happy for how early it is.
@@jessevinson3621 It has the makings of a great Cal team. Long, athletic, good mixture of power and finesse. I expect the defense to be one of the best in the country. Offensively we'll see what happens but it's clear that they have more playmakers and shot creators than last season. Most importantly though, this team has serious depth. Short term injuries won't be as much cause for concern.
No one should expect an individual american campus to win against a national team. International teams plays against much tougher competition. Plus, they have veterans and often NBA experience
i feel like isreali wasnt even that skilled they jus play extremely smart and textbook every pass and dribble jus led to a bucket
The Israeli style of play is based on the Princeton offense. brought by Jewish American players coming to the country in the 60s.
What are these calls lmao
KD need to play more idc
No
Auburn will start the season off hot, then go on losing streak and lose in the first round of the ncaa tournament. Seen it happen too many times.
Is basketball big in Israel?
Big but not as big as ⚽
The U20 team (with Avdija and Madar) won the european championship in 2019.
Basketball is the biggest and most successful sport in Israel in men's and women's sports.
This is the game that Israelis and Jews are the best at and are most in love with.
The thumbnail implied auburn has this. Auburn player seemed to be killing it. Watched the video. Israel won. I am happy.
Did they say Israel shot 47 free throws wow talk about home court
Yall can't guard shit ur just aggressive and athletic lol
Lucky we didn't get more
YAY, WE BEAT A COLLEGE TEAM! GO, JEWS!
HUH?
13:51 literally no foul
American “Kids” vs pro team and still kept it close 💪🏽 👏🏽 😂
Some of those "kids" will be in the NBA in a year or two and they still couldn't beat a below average European team while playing with their own rules
Kentucky played Bahamas National Team, and won by 24. Auburn lost by 9 to Israel National Team.
@@kedda4515 Congratulations? Auburn's probably the 20th best team in college, and half these guys are playing together for the first time ever. They have one mid-1st and one 2nd-round projected pick on their roster and they both made their college debuts during this trip. Celebrate those small wins I guess. Israel was missing plenty of players too. Almost like it is what it is...an exhibition. Teams working on stuff.
says a lot that auburn could keep it close for the first 3 quarters
The ball movement for Israel is superior and so satisfying to watch
Grown men? Come & play against us other grown men.
Cut them free throws in half and this game goes to Auburn and for the guys sayin Israel were missing there players that’s not even close to an excuse on why a college team was able to keep up with your national team lol Team USA backups would’ve beat auburn by 50
Israel is a country of 9 million inhabitants while the USA has about 330 million inhabitants, do the math on that
You’re comparing Team USA backups (all NBA starters) to a watered down Israeli national team. Are you ok in the head?
@@jeffhardy6333 it’s still a pro team don’t matter they picked the best of the best from their country against a team full of college students who may or may not even be the best from their state so again NO EXCUSES !!!!!
@@Firstname_Surname And Auburn is a college 🤷🏾♂️ yall missing the whole point lol regardless if they were missing players or not they were able to hand pick the best basketball players out of 9 million ppl vs a college who has to compete to get the best recruits lmao NEXT!!!!
What does having 330 million people matter....China has 3 billion they still don't want the smoke with America...get out the kitchen if can't handle the smoke
The difference between European and American basketball is drastic. Auburn played decently for their level. There's not a single college team that can beat any national team in Europe. So they've nothing to hang their heads down about at all.
6:02 רונאלד?
That how europeans play ball its all aabout ball movement they are always swinging the ball and find an open guy, no low percentage shot all highpercentage shots, and of coarse experience, imagine a team full of grown men who more physical and have the best team chemistry play 5v5 against athletic kids whos more on iso plays and finese moves, its just very uneffective in euro basket
Long live ISRAEL!!
They weren't even going as hard
Israeli National team should have blown Auburn out. Bad game for Israel
They beat Auburn. A national team only beat a college team by 12. Hahaha.
9*
It’s Auburn…lmfao
They’re missing a lot of their best players if they played it wouldn’t be at least 20 points
I don't know how this help the National team, lol. They are playing against amateurs.
They almost beat the best players in the whole country of Israel versus Israel beating the best 22u kids in the CITY of Auburn 😂 😂
lol, be real. The Israel population is 9M. Those kids from Auburn are recruited all through out the USA. Population of 329M.
Well. The best players of the Israeli team which played against Auburn are Deni Avdija and Yam Madar. Both are 21 years old.
Also about half of players of the team were not participating : 20 year old Noam Dovrat - star of Israeli U20 team (not the so-called Israel U20 which Auburn played against but the real one which finished 4th in Euro U20 couple weeks ago) was out with with illness , the vet guards Gal Mekel (which played one season for Mavs about decade ago) and John DiBartolomeo (rotational player for Maccabi Tel-Aviv in Euroleague for several years) and experienced SF Rafi Menco with minor injuries, PG Tamir Blatt (former Cavs coach David Blatt's son - really unbelievable passer, and good 3p shooter... but small and not athletic) and starting SG Yovel Zoosman just joined the NT camp after long season in Germany league and Euroleague for Alba Berlin and didn't play too.
Just think a national team winning by 10 to a college team that’s outside the top 10 just shows how good we are
it is a friendly game and 11 out of 12 of the national's team players were missing. So good :p
@@user-lm6me2tz9t yeah and Auburns 3 best players were in HIGH SCHOOL 3 months ago.
Israel wasn't even trying lol
@@dennistang5996 Yeah, college usually comes after high school. Your point?
Auburn fouled non stop,they couldnt guard then correctly most of the time
The matchup was over in the free throw line,too many giveaways
Not at all
I have never, at the high school, college or professional level, seen a game called more horrendously than this one. It was on both sides but Auburn is an aggressive team, a lot of what would be steals and blocks in the SEC were called fouls. The result would have been very different with different referees
@@chikushodiz91 yes, he saying the truth cus Israel got 43 FT attempt so watch the game 😉
@@Jakethesnake42380 If it was for both sides, doesn't it cancel out? Also, as you can see, Deni fouled out with BS calls all around. So it does indeed cancel out. Auburn were TOLD to foul. Listen to coach, that was their strategy. Problem is, they sometimes did it too late which led to an and 1, or free throws due to continuation.
@@vl3005 I'm completely unaware of the Israeli team's play style so it's hard to say. I do know Auburn is aggressive. They block shots and force turnovers and that part of their game was neutralized by ridiculous calls all game. 43 free throws were shot by Israel. That's insane.
The people proud that a NATIONAL team beat a college team are hilarious. could you imagine team USA playing an Israel college team? lmaooo you couldn't cause you know better than that.
Can you compare the playerpool you can get into a D1 College team vs a country that has 9m people in it without the same sports culture? lol
Exactly let usa guys play a Israel college team.....what part that they don't get....(denial)
