I'm surprised by his selection, especially since this area of the world has not been perceived as a particularly safe area to live in the past and is looking less safe with each passing day.....

Cal Duke I agree. Last place to play ball. Not the safest place in the world.

They must be paying Jimmy a lot of money.There are a lot of knuckleheads who would love to cause mayhem to Israel.Stay safe Jimmy and be very careful.God bless.

“Shawn James was the first to go from Duquesne to Bnei Herzliya (2008) Now it’s Jimmy Clark time!”

Very surprising to see him go not just to Israel, but a middle of the road team in Israel. I thought he had a shot at the NBA. Perhaps I was a little biased towards one of my favorite Dukes ever. Best of luck to Trey on and off the court.

Tre has a 20 year old brother TJ who seems to be attempting an NBA path. He never played college and has played on G-league and summer league teams.

Jimmy - Player of the Month
Love seeing these highlights; looks so familiar from what we saw from him in a Dukes jersey.

Jimmy is ballin-out in Israel! He may need to move to a better league!

I can’t believe that Jimmy wasn’t invited to an NBA camp. I didn’t see any major holes in his game, and he has a history of continuous improvement.

Since Maccabi TelAviv is in this Israel Winners League, it has a decent profile (especially since Jimmy helped lead his team over Maccabi handing them their first loss). Jimmy will have options if he keeps growing his game.

Jimmy just set the regular-season single-game steals record for the Israeli Winner League. 9 steals.

When Tre single handed beat the crap out of VCU his first year, a real coach would have made him the primary player. KD didn't. Dae Dae was very good, but Tre Clark has NBA skills. All that year and the next, he was the set-up man to Dae Dae. If it had been in reverse, Tre would have been in the NBA. He was the best player since Nixon in a Duquesne Uniform.

Interesting point, I don’t disagree but never considered it. I do think, and posted regularly about it, that KD was not adept at making potential star players happy. We saw it with Eric Williams at the beginning, a PG whom I’m forgetting his name now, and others. Winning with Jimmy and DAE DAE kind of changed the narrative but not the reality
