International Guard Daniel Guetta Becomes Latest Pickup for Oklahoma State Basketball
Oklahoma State is widening its international footprint with a commitment from 22-year-old Israeli guard , a 6‑foot‑2 point guard who has formally joined Steve Lutz’s roster for the 2025‑26 season.
OSU initially extended Guetta an offer shortly after he concluded a strong season with Maccabi Rehovot in Israel’s Leumit League.
Over 35 games, he posted solid averages: 9.6 points, 4.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds, and drained 35 percent from 3‑point range, showcasing both scoring and playmaking ability. His season highlight came with a 24‑point performance and a 10‑point, 12‑assist double‑double in December, an ideal stat line for a dynamic backcourt piece.
Guetta becomes the latest international addition under Lutz’s regime, following Serbian forward and Greek phenom , demonstrating OSU’s embracing of a global recruiting strategy. He fills one of the final two spots available on the Cowboys’ 15‑man roster, adding experience and versatility to a backcourt already bolstered by veterans returning from last season.
At the 2023 FIBA U-20 European Championship, he helped Israel secure a silver medal, earning praise for his clutch shooting and cerebral court presence. In domestic league play, he showed an ability to control the game’s tempo, balancing penetration with passing and spot-up shooting.
Daniel Guetta’s commitment marks another bold step in OSU’s international recruiting blueprint. He’s not just adding depth; he’s bringing championship pedigree, international savvy, and a high-IQ skill set tailor-made for Steve Lutz’s system.
Cowboys fans should be intrigued and ready for a fresh, global flavor to their guard rotation ahead of the 2025–26 Big 12 campaign.
