Yuval Naimyis a hard-working guard who saw his minutes grow significantly last summer after a quiet debut at EuroBasket 2009. The Hapoel Jerusalem player is the brother-in-law of the the club's chairman, Danny Klein, but his path towards a place in the Israeli National Team has been gained through determination. He worked his way up through a succession of smaller clubs having never played at junior level for Israel, He then gained experience by playing at the 2007 and 2009 World University Games and has a reliable shot in addition to distributing the ball well. "Yuvi" is a fearless competitor with a style that cares nothing about the big names in front of him. He has great court vision and can count on considerable Eurocup experience.
