Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv has signed the talented guard Jimmy Clark, who joins from Bnei Herzliya on a two-and-a-half-year contract. Clark, who will turn 24 this April, is a versatile 1.91m (6'3") combo guard known for his ability to create shots for himself and for his teammates, as well as his defensive instincts for steals.
"Jimmy Clark is a young player who already in his first year in Europe has shown good abilities on both sides of the court", explained coach Oded Kattash. "He has a good character that suits us, he has a lot of upside, so this is a signing for several years - which is significant for the club for years to come. This is a player who, in terms of what he brings to the court, can help us meet our goals and will help us in our games in Europe".
"I’m incredibly honored and excited to join Maccabi Tel Aviv, a club with such a rich history and tradition of excellence", Clark told Maccabi.co.il. "This organization is giving me the opportunity to compete at one of the highest levels, and I’m determined to prove that they made a great decision. I can’t wait to get to work and contribute to the team’s continued success".
Jimmy Clark was born on April 4, 2001, in Covington, Georgia, about a half-hour drive from Atlanta. He is a graduate of Duquesne University, and Herzliya was his first professional stop, following a similar path to former center Shawn James.
In his senior college season, Clark led Duquesne to an impressive campaign—winning the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament - both are feats the school had not achieved since 1977. He averaged 15 points, 3.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game during last season.
Clark is regarded as an excellent defender, having been selected twice for the conference's All-Defensive Team and once for the All-Conference Second Team. In both of his seasons at Duquesne, he led the conference in steals, a skill he has continued to showcase impressively in the Israeli Basketball Premier League.
During the current season, Jimmy Clark started in 16 of Herzliya’s 17 league games, averaging 14.5 points (56.7% from two-point range), 5.8 assists (4th in the league), and 2 steals per game (2nd in the league). In his game against Maccabi, he shined with 19 points (5-of-6 from three), 9 assists, and 7 rebounds.
