After Danny Abdia's record game against Miami in which he scored 20 points, this morning the Israeli forward settled for 6 points, 5 rebounds and assists in Washington's impressive victory over Phoenix.
"Danny is still learning the game but he's doing a good job," said Davis Bartens, who scored 6 threes last night (out of 9 shots) for the Israeli rookie's performance. "It's not easy to make the move from Europe to the NBA, there is a way to go. It is not easy, but as long as he continues to learn from the mistakes he makes, he will continue to help us more as time goes on. "

Also in Washington continue to be troubled by the problem created in the front line of the squad due to the injury of Thomas Bryant who finished the season, and the team plans to apply to the league management in the hope that it will allow them to add another player to the squad by the end of the season.
The Washington Wizards are planning to apply for a $ 4.2M Disabled Player Exception with the season-ending injury to Thomas Bryant, sources tell ESPN.
Once granted, the Wizards can use the spot to acquire a player for the rest of the season.

Until the request is approved and the Wizards find the right chin, it is very possible that Scott Brooks will move to play in a particularly low and positionless lineup so Danny Abdia may also find himself in position number 5.
"Basketball without positions is a goal of Scott Brooks and the professional team in Washington for some time. If they do use low-lying teams, it could mean that Abdia and Roy Hachimura get minutes in position 5 as well," wrote the NBC-Washington small-ball lineup. "What could be interesting for Brooks is when Abdia, Hachimura and Isak Bonga man the front line. In terms of positionless basketball, this is the most diverse trio he can put together."
