Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv has signed American point guard Mikhail Torrance (21, 1.96) for one season with an option for a second season.
This summer he finished his fourth season with Alabama’s Crimson Tide.
Torrance is an intelligent, high-quality point guard with an excellent drive to the basket and a nice outside shot. Unafraid of a physical game, Torrance also enjoys making exciting moves.
He is an impressive athlete with a larger, more powerful body than is usually seen on a point guard.
He has a superb game view, and is a talented passer with the potential to be a star at the highest levels.
For two years Torrance played at Alabama with Richard Hendrix, who has also signed a contract with Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv.
Torrance’s averages at the University of Alabama last season were 15.6 points, 5.1 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game.
