wow leaving college early for professional basketball is one thing but dropping out of high school early is another. I hope this does not become a trend.

He can finish high school in Israel ... All talanted European young players play professionally/semi-professionally and go to school.

first of all i want to make the things clear,
he signed at "Maccabi Haifa" a team who just qualifited to the first israeli league in 2008, they got ot the 2nd placei n their first year at 2009.

its not Maccabi Tel-aviv where casspi came from, and Maccabi Haifa isnt playing on europe cause they didnt wanted to, so his gonna play only onthe weak israeli league (exept maccabi tel aviv of course)...

anywayz i cant understand him, he has nothing to do in here, they arnt playing on europe and maccabi is still better by 5 lvls than every other team in this league

anywayz, i think he has the abillty to success at here.
