The opening of the season may have instilled a lot of hope in the Israeli audience, but as the days go by, so does Danny Abdia’s status in Washington. Tonight (Monday), the Israeli’s name appeared on the podcast “Locked On Wizards” – in which the journalist, Ben Mahich, referred to the decline of the rookie.
“Seven minutes, it’s horrible, let’s call the boy by his name. He’s one of the most talented players on the roster, only 20, but seven minutes ?! It’s a dubious decision by Scott Brooks. It’s a sequel, how Danny Abdia is used. He just came to the US , He’s young, the NBA is new to him, he must have his confidence raised. Washington must do a better job of incorporating it. “A player his age, with his abilities, can be a cornerstone at this club – but he’s starting to get Troy Brown’s treatment.”
“The next games are the time to develop young players, Scott Brooks must let them learn from their mistakes. Abdia is allowed to make mistakes, he does not play enough and does not throw enough. He accumulates fast fouls, it frustrates him and the team seems to have given up. Him more in attack and keep the confidence of high. “
“I’m not in the locker room, I do not know how Brooks, Westbrook and Bill make these players not lose confidence, but one must wonder – Abdia has moved from the top five to crumbs from the bench, and that makes you ask if he is being treated properly. He can grow a lot if he plays against Kwai “In the end, no matter what happens this season, whether they reach the playoffs or not, the most important thing is to develop youngsters like Abdia and Roy Hachimura.”
