With a streak of four straight wins and finally looking connected, the Washington Wizards will meet tonight (Monday through Tuesday), the Los Angeles Lakers champion, in what will of course be a very exciting moment for our Danny Abdia, who will face LeBron James for the first time.
Along with the Wizards’ success over the past week and a half, the sharp decline in Abdia’s ability cannot be ignored. The Israeli rookie who started the season well, lost his place in the top five, and in the last game of the Wizards who defeated Portland, played only 11 minutes, his least this season. Along with the unpleasant incident with the unachievable delivery of Hachimura, there is no doubt that this is a test of character for the young Israeli.
By the way, Hachimura, Abdia can certainly be encouraged by the ranking published by the prestigious Athletic website, where the Israeli is in 47th place on the list of promising youngsters in the league, before the Japanese who was ranked 49th. “He has everything Hachimura doesn’t have and he can help Washington win more. “His ceiling can be higher, he can complete the stars in the league.”
According to all reports, Scott Brooks has no plans to change his quintet that has won the last four games and does not include the loss, but the Israeli knows that in front of LeBron James and the Lakers, who seem vulnerable since Anthony Davis’ injury and lost three of the last four games, he will get what to prove. His ability against the biggest star in the league.
By the way, Abdia can pick up the phone to his good friend Omri Caspi, who has met LeBron James 16 times in the past, and maybe get some tips from him for dealing with the best player in the world. Caspi may have beaten LeBron only once, but he recorded a number of impressive displays, including 20 points against Miami in 2010, in a Sacramento uniform.
