Five months ago, Danny Abdia celebrated the Israeli championship in the Maccabi Tel Aviv uniform, shining in the spotlight along with his MVP title, but in recent days he has become accustomed to a slightly different reality. A reality with more losses and fewer touches on the ball. Abdia scored 9 points tonight (Tuesday through Wednesday) in Washington’s 115: 107 loss to Chicago.
Given the weak ability of most Wizards, the United States capital continues to look for answers that will help them get on the highway and once again the main answer is lost. The Israeli rookie added 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and a block to his 9 points, and Washington wants to see more.
“I appreciate Danny for not being selfish, but he should take on more and throw away,” the team reporter claimed Ben Mahitch. The rest of the commentators focused mainly on the defense of Abdia, who again looked excellent. “Danny learns fast,” complimented the group’s senior reporter Fred Katz. “A few attacks ago Kobe White went through the loss and this time he closed it and led to his loss.”
Also the pair of reporters from the NBC network, Chase Hughes and Quinton Mayo, Were enthusiastic about the Israeli. US Analyze: “Our team defense is still problematic but Abdia is impressive in this part. Already at 19 he may be one of the best guards on the team. He knows how to keep excellent without committing an offense.” Mayo Tweeted: “Danny has great potential as a one-on-one guard. He’s going to be a really good player in the NBA for a very long time.”
Coby White drove by Avdija five or so possessions ago. This time, White tried to go by Avdija the same way and Avdija totally closed him off and forced a turnover. He learns quick.

Coby White crossed up Deni Avdija early in the first quarter. Minutes later, Avdija adjusted and forced him into a travel. Nice defense from the rookie. pic.twitter.com/bRzF9wgLZ8

Deni Avdija is going to be a really good player in this league for a very long time.

More during the game, Zac Lavine penetrated the ring and finished with a typical dunk. Abdia, who was in color, chose to stay away from the dangerous area and not risk entering the wrong side of the ‘poster’. “Great business decision by Danny Abdia,” read the Chicago Bulls Talk Twitter account. Bulls fans also “cheered” for Avdia, tweeting: “Danny’s smart move. He may be a rookie but he knows not to stand in Lavin’s way to dunk.”
The American broadcasters who broadcast the game in Washington also joked from the moment and said: “Probably Danny would have seen the NBA games in Israel, because he knew not to jump this time.”
