"Like a pro": Danny Abdia and the sign that fell on his head in the middle of a trip (@washwizardsil)

Five games into his NBA career, Danny Abdia is still not particularly prominent on the offensive side, but shows surprising potential precisely in defense.

Today (Wednesday) another flattering article was published in the United States about the defensive performance of the Israeli rookie, who will play tonight (2:00, Sports 5) against Philadelphia.



"One of the surprises of the season opener in Washington is the defense of Danny Abdia," NBC Washington wrote.

"It is not normal to see an 19 year old comes to the NBA for the first time and affect immediately on this side of the pitch. It's not that we knew Abdi able to maintain, but before he reached the league, all experts in the draft talked about the offensive potential.



" But Abbadia is already One of the best guards in Washington.

It’s not that the continuum is too high, given that Washington was the worst defensive team in the NBA last season.

But Abdia shows toughness, diversity and wisdom on the defensive side, and that is one of the main reasons why he earned a place in the top five and stable minutes in the rotation. "

Advanced statistics also support this claim.

Although Washington is ranked only 27th in the league in defensive efficiency, Abdia leads the team in "point savings" (a statistical index that examines the influence of a certain player in defensive passers), third in the team in ball shifts, second in steals and most importantly - first in the team Bennett rating (index Weighting the contribution of a particular player on offense and defense).



"Even beyond statistics and numbers, Abdia shows sharp senses in defense and knows when to come to help and when to 'gamble' on steals and blocks. Abdia also has quite a few moves that he manages to make it difficult for the opposing player to throw without making offenses. He shows impressive discipline on the defensive side "Players are much quicker than him. From the beginning of the season he has managed to stop guards such as Kobe White, Ricky Rubio and recently also Kyrie Irving."



The author notes that "Abdia and the Wizards have a long way to go on the defensive side, especially if they want to fight for a place in the playoffs and reach a real achievement in the East. Their defensive problems will not go away overnight. Even though he is only 19 years old. "
