After opening the season in complete contrast to expectations, Maccabi Haifa is trying to correct: the Greens announced this morning (Monday) the signing of Tyler Baron until the end of the season. The forward will return for a second term in Israel, after impressing in the Hapoel B’Shlosha uniform two years ago, and will try to help the Northerners get out of the bottom.
Baron was an integral part of BS’s debut season in the Premier League. He averaged 14.9 points (35% off the arc), 6 rebounds and 3.7 assists – which set him up for a comeback last season, but he only managed to play a single game before the league freeze due In between, Baron played for the Brisbane Bolts in Australia and in 23 minutes of play recorded 6.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
“Taylor is an excellent player who can play in a number of positions on both sides of the pitch,” team coach Daniel Savannah said at the signing ceremony. Owner Jeff Rosen added: “Taylor is a very smart and balanced player. We expect him to contribute to us immediately.”
