Omri Casspi single-handedly might be changing the goals of young basketball players in Israel. 'When I was young, I dreamed to play with Maccabi, the biggest club in Israel,' Casspi said. 'Now the kids can dream about playing in the NBA, because we've got somebody over there.' That man is Casspi, who last month, after playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv, became the first player from Israel taken in the first round of the NBA draft, at No. 23. The 6-9 Sacramento Kings forward could become the first Israeli to play in the NBA this fall. Just about everything is a first these days for Casspi. Until he made his debut for the Kings on Friday in the NBA Summer League, no Israeli had gotten even that close to the league. 'It's not pressure on me, but there's a lot of expectations going on,' Casspi said. 'My country is on my back.'"
