After EuroBasket Eliyahu will join his first team outside of Israel, Spanish powerhouse Caja Laboral, leaving behind his home for the last three seasons Maccabi Tel Aviv, where he became a Euroleague star. A late bloomer that was born to play the game. Very few players in the world have the feel for the game the Israeli forward posses. An extremely athletic and long body joins a soft touch around the rim that together makes him one of the toughest players around to defend. Nobody can match the unorthodox shots Eliyahu creates, but at over 50% accuracy it's more than enough. In his second EuroBasket Eliyahu is expected to be one of the top players in the championship.
