Washington is not good for him in the long run?

Danny Abdia opened tonight (Wednesday to Thursday) the second half of his rookie season in the NBA in an encouraging way, with a good personal display.
Washington did lose 127: 112 to Memphis, but personally the Israeli recorded good ability and finished with 13 points and 6 rebounds in 24 minutes, in a game that continued its improvement trend that began before the All-Star break.
Either way, the United States is still not convinced that Abdia is realizing its potential in Washington.
"The Ringer" commentators Kevin O'Connor, Jonathan Charks and Kyle Mann discussed at length the situation of Abdia in Washington, and even handed out relatively low scores to the Israeli on his first half of the season in the team.
Mann, for example, gave the Israeli only a score of 69, while O'Connor claimed he deserved a higher score.
"He went through an inverted process like Amelo Ball - unlike him, he started the season as a top five player, but came out of it after 20 games. The Wizards' balance sheet since he went down to the bench proves it was the right move," Mann said.
"Overall, I don't think anyone expected Avdia to give star numbers. Before the draft I believed he would be a nice complementary player. His shooting looks just fine and he showed sparks of playmaker, but the key question is whether with players like Bradley Bill and Russell Westbrook, He is able to develop on the right track. Right now, it's hard for him to show the benefits that can give him minutes in the NBA.
"Instead of giving expression to his abilities, Washington is pressuring him to solve his defensive problems.
It's hard for him to do the things he excels at.
He does not show the abilities that will make him an NBA player in the long run.
I think he's a little overwhelmed by the agility of the players he's encountered in the NBA, he's not long enough to change color shots and not fast enough to keep guards.
He has defensive issues.
"If he continues in Washington, I doubt he will become a legitimate NBA player in the long run."

Kevin O'Connor added: "As for Rocky, he's solid. I also have doubts about his long-term development, because it's a strange fit in every way. I've lost a player who can help as a playmaker, and he just doesn't have those opportunities as long as he plays alongside Westbrook and Bill. Some disappointment, because he's just not in the right situation. In the end, it's all a matter of fit. One can only imagine how hard it would have been for Lamello Bull if he had to play alongside Steph Kerry, or how Anthony Edwards would have reacted if the ball was not in Minnesota's hands. "It's not certain that Abdia is in the best place for his development, but overall I think he deserves a reasonable score for the first half of the season."
Jonathan Charks said: "When I look at players like Danny Abdia, I wonder what exactly the role he is supposed to play in the NBA. How will he find his role? It happens a lot of times with players who are selected high in the draft, but stay out of the top. 5. Their teams do not really give them the keys, do not really let them lead, and sometimes you just have to earn your place by force, find a niche for yourself. For a player like Danny it is a difficult task because he needs the ball in his hands. "Danny will replace 2-3 teams in the NBA until he finds the right place for him, which will give him the role he needs."
Abdia received compliments for his display tonight
But there were also those who laughed at his complaints to the judge
Mann concluded the discussion: "He reminds me a bit of Joe Ingles. He is able to play with other creative players, but he has some toughness and understanding of the game. He is a smart player, but sometimes he does not have the audacity to take the game on himself. Maybe That is something that will develop over time. "
