Even if Danny Abdia's dry statistics do not illustrate this, the United States is confident: the progress he is making this season is impressive. Although the 20-year-old Israeli has lost his place in the top five this season and although his offensive productivity is limited, he has a real contribution to make to the Wizards, who have become a winning team.
Tonight (Saturday through Sunday) he scored 8 points (3 of 4 from the field including 2 of 3 of the three) and added 6 rebounds, assists, blocks and steals in 18 minutes, helping the Wizards beat Orlando 92: 104 and retain their place at the top of the East. Abdia gets more and more credit from coach Wes Ansald Jr., who makes him an integral part of the Wizards' effective five-pointer, and often assigns him special defensive tasks.
Last week he was given the challenge of keeping Yannis Antocompo and standing up for it with dignity, and this time he was pinned to Terence Ross, the Magic's main performer from the bench.
It was a team effort, but in the end Ross finished a lukewarm game with just 7 points, including 3 of 9 from the field and 1 of 5 from three.

Ansald Jr. said at the end that one of the things that helps Abdia's safety is the fact that the veteran players on the team often advise him and give him tips.
"We have some experienced players leading the team and that's good. I told Danny to find one of them to be close to him. The veterans will give him tips and help him build his confidence. I think they saw it in his game today, in the way he reacted. It's great."
Kyle Kozma also gave a commendation to her loss at the end.
"It affects the game so much at a young age," he said.
"I try to tell him from my experience just to keep going like this, to work on the little things. In this league the opportunity will come, you just do not know when. That's what he does now. "Bursting he delivers the right delivery forward. Overall he is doing a good job this season."

Abdia stood out again on defense: "Get used to it"
Washington reporters also understand that Abdia is moving in the right direction.
NBC Chase Hughes wrote at the end that "this game was a good sign for the development of Abdia. His numbers may not be unusual, but he did a lot in 18 minutes, and finished with the best plus / minus index on the team. He is only 20, and no It is easy for players of this age to flourish or be effective when you give them a limited role off the bench. "
"Athletic" reporter Josh Robbins noted Abdia's defensive effort.
"Danny has been given a difficult defensive task - to keep Terence Ross. This is further proof of the Wizards' belief in his defense," he explained.
"In a short period of time, Danny was required to keep two completely different players like Terence Ross and Yannis Antocompo. While he was not the only one to keep Yannis, he was entrusted with important moments in the game against Milwaukee."
