Washington reporters: "You can't accept Brooks' excuses for Danny Abdia"
The Athletic and Washington Post reporters discussed the difficulties of the Israeli rookie's integration in the attack: "He will never be good in the current position that the coach gives him. On the other hand, he also does not initiate enough."
Hope?
"The season is over, maybe now his development will be a priority"

Washington reporters also agree: Danny Abdia's pace of progress in Washington is worrying, and often not his fault.
Although the Israeli rookie has shown improved ability recently, although he has finished three of the last five games with a double-digit number of points and is on a significant improvement trend in the rebounding category as well, he continues to be quite passive on offense.
The main problem is that Abdia is required in most games to stand in the corner and rarely get opportunities to initiate moves, what was supposed to be his strong point, is that thanks to him he became a high pick in the draft.
"I do not know what to think of Danny's attack," Washington Post reporter Eva Wallace said in a joint podcast with another Wizards reporter, Fred Katz ("Athletics").
"Scott Brooks' excuse for Danny is that it was a strange year, without a training camp, without a summer league, and it's very difficult to include a 19-year-old player from a foreign country in this situation. That's true, but I would only accept that explanation 100 percent if Washington "Good experience in the past with player development. This is a very problematic issue for the team. He does not excel in this field, to be gentle."

"On the one hand, Brooks is right. Danny is the kind of player who can benefit from playing in a summer league, for example, where he was probably the center of attention, and the ball would reach him," Wallace continues.
"He blossoms as soon as he feels he's a key player, and we saw that at the beginning of the season, when he played in a super-aggressive, super-decisive way. When he gets some confidence, he's a different player than we 've seen so far, but lately it's hard to see. "In the corners he waited for an occasional three, that's not the reason the Wizards chose him. He will probably never be good in this role."
Fred Katz said in response: "That's what's weird. When they selected him in the draft, they talked mostly about his abilities as a playmaker. Brooks said he likes his assertiveness, his ability to deliver, his ability to create for others, but see nothing of it this season, Even when it's clear this season is lost.If you do tanking and put the youngsters' progress at the top of the list, give Danny more opportunities with the ball.Let him create more situations on offense, don't get him stuck in the corner.Maybe that will happen now, when it's clear the team is not going anywhere ".
Brooks the main culprit?

In conclusion, Katz said that "the Wizards should blame Brooks for Danny's pace of development, but also Russell Westbrook and his tendency to dribble a lot, does not help. On the other hand, Danny also has a part in it. It is not that he takes the ball and initiates unusually when Path does not play or When Westbrook is not on the field. He keeps waiting around the corner, and I no longer know how many tell him to do it and how much it's his fault. Bottom line, to say the Wizards just do not know how to use him is too simplistic. There are several reasons why he does not realize the potential. His until now. "
Tonight (Wednesday-Thursday, 2:00 p.m., Sports 5 live broadcast) Washington and Abdia will be hosted by Orlando.
The Wizards come into the game after four straight losses.
