Sharon Davidovich, the NBA reporter for YNET, thew biggest Israeli news web site says NBA teams interested in Mekel are looking for a backup smart PG. " In a league overcrowded with 20+- year old point guards, teams are looking for high IQ, aggressive defense and experience. This year Mekel has a good chance to become an NBA player. He can be a perfect fit for a team that play "euro style" such as Toronto, or one that love smart point guards so much -Utah Jazz. Anyway, to be consistent and play in that level for few years will be harder for him than getting to the NBA.
He has quite a few physical and athletics disadvantages comparing to his American rivals, but he is overpowering them in game experience, court vision and especially will power.
Bottom line - Mekel can and deserves to be an NBA player, but in order to succeed there, he'll need much more than just traditional BB skills. "
