The big question mark around Abdia concerns his shooting ability, mainly due to the penalty percentages and threes that are not always stable.
Abdia addressed this at length.
"I think it's a matter of time before I get over 70 percent of the penalties," he said.
"It's all in my head. I'll get there, even if I have to throw 3,000 free throws at 12 at night to do it."
On shooting from the three, he added: "A lot of people who don't play professional basketball don't understand something about shooting. Technique is not always the important element. My shot technique is good, and I feel like sometimes I forget I'm young. I played on a team with a lot of experienced players, with a lot of pressure, with a lot Fans. I played a few minutes. Sometimes a lot, sometimes less. It made me ups and downs in shooting from the outside. Towards the end of the season I felt much more with my shooting. My confidence went up, and my teammates trusted me more. I can score, I've a great shot. "I could not score, I would not throw threes. But I am always convinced that I can score."
On his competitive nature he said: "I do not like to talk about myself, it is not me. I am one who tries to do the best for his team and at the end of the day, I like to win. It is very hard for me to lose, and I will give every game 100 percent to win. I You have to work on a lot of aspects of the game and get better at everything, so I do it, I don't talk about it. "
