Brian Asbury selected Israeli National League Player of the Year

Traditionally Israeli National League (Division II) teams sign only forwards and centers as import players, relying mostly on domestic players to fill guards positions.

The best reflection of such situation are individual league awards. Similarly 1st and 2nd team are fully filled by imports on center and forward positions, while local players are best as guards.
