So far this season, Danny Abdia has stood out mostly on defense.
Tonight (Wednesday to Thursday) the Israeli from Washington made sure to return on the offensive side as well, contributing 9 points and 7 rebounds in 107: 115 against Minnesota.
This game featured a nice little duel between the top two picks from the 2020 NBA Draft of 2020, "NBC Washington wrote after the game. For guarding Edwards for most of the night.
"Abdia is one of the best defensive players in the NBA this season, but Edwards' hand was on the top this time."
The matchup summary read: "On a number of occasions, Edwards has managed to get past Abdia in ways we haven't seen him often. Abdia does a great job in his footwork and staying in front of players, even guards. But Edwards' first step and explosiveness are special and a big reason he was "The first choice in the draft. He is a star in the making. But Abdia had a nice game overall."

Deni Avdija is a great defender, it's a great season on this side of the field, but Anthony EdwardsâŠâŠ is
another category.
Athlete from the NFL, if you are not elite on this side - you take the sauce quickly.
