The United States was also surprised by the developments around Danny Abdia tonight (Wednesday to Thursday) in the draft.

According to most estimates, the 19-year-old Israeli was supposed to be selected in the top five, but he "fell" until the ninth election, and fell into the hands of Washington, which did not expect her to be able to choose him.



"The fact that Abdia made it to the ninth pick surprises me greatly," said ESPN senior commentator Adrian Wojciechowski.

Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer also tweeted that "Abdia's fall to the ninth pick is a shock. Both Chicago and Cleveland considered choosing him in the 4th and 5th picks, according to my sources. Washington wanted to get great talent and got a player with the potential to become a star, if he improved. The shooting. "



O'Connor claims Abdia will fit in with Washington and will join stars Bradley Bill and John Wall.

"I love the match between Abdia and Wall and Bill. Danny will add to the Wizards a high playmaker who can share the ball with them, and who can also serve as a blocking standard that requires substitutions and miss-matches. He is able to contribute to Washington aiming to reach the playoffs, immediately. For the theft of the draft. "

ESPN Draft Specialist Mike Schmitz predicted that "in five years from now, there's a good chance we'll find out that Abdia is the best player in this draft.



“It starts with understanding the game and its diversity,” he said.

"He's capable of doing a lot of things on offense, and underrated on defense. He's improved as a three-pointer, and I believe he can become not only a player of threes and defense, but also a secondary playmaker on a good team in the NBA. I love his upside."



John Hollinger, the Athletic commentator, commented on Abdia's selection and wrote that "I was never so enthusiastic about Abdia, and in the draft nominees I ranked him only 16. The Wizards can certainly use his abilities as a combo pink who can lead a ball, but "Is he able to score from the outside? That's the big problem. I'm also pretty shocked he didn't take Tyrese Liberton."

At CBS 'studio, two former stars Rip Hamilton and Avery Johnson responded to the selection in Abdia.

Hamilton told L "When an international player comes to the NBA, the main problem is language. When Draco Milicic came to Detroit, many times he did not understand the instructions Mike Brown gave him. Besides, they have to adapt to the United States, which is not always a simple thing. I hope this part will be lost easily. "



Avery Johnson said: "Abdia has another way to go, there are still question marks about him. I was lucky enough to coach Dirk Nowitzki, the greatest European player of all time, and it also took him a while to adapt and break through. For Abdia, it will be a similar process."
