June 10, 2009 - Former Syracuse University player Josh Pace has been invited to tryout with Maccabi Haifa Heat of the Israel Premiere League. The tryout will take place July 28th and 29th in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Maccabi Haifa will play in Eurocup competition for the 2009-2010 season.
The tryout was arranged Sports Agent, Nate McCray, President and CEO of Dynasty Sports Management, and Maccabi Haifa Owner-Billionaire Jeff Rosen who purchased the team in 2007. Maccabi Haifa finished the 2008-2009 season with 14 wins and 8 losses regular season record, and made it all the way to the Premiere League finals before losing to Maccabi TA.
McCray stated that it was a situation where he marketed the idea to Rosen and he liked it and put things into motion. Jeff Rosen is known as a major player in the professional basketball industry overseas and has a niche blueprint of long-term plans of rebuilding squads.
Pace, who just returned to the states from Estonia where he played for BC Kalev Cramo this past season, had tryouts last summer with the Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association. He achieved those tryouts after a league-leading 23 points per game average while with the East Kentucky Miners of the Continental Basketball League.
During his tenure with Kalev Cramo, Pace averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds per game as the team reached and won the Baltic Finals defeating TU Rock.
McCray also stated that the interest level for Pace is growing daily and that he has already received some offers from teams in Europe but will test the market further to see what his clients top value is this summer.
