Danny Abdia's efficiency is on a downward trend again

Along with the impressive stability in defense, in recent games the Israeli has returned to difficulty on offense.

Danny Abdia speaks after the victory on his birthday (video editing: Nir Chen)

Danny Abdia continues to be a defensive bright spot in Washington, but what about the other side of the field? After a good offensive month in December, in the new year Washington's Israeli forward efficiency and percentage are again seen in retreat - in the last two games he has averaged 7.5 points, but is only 15 percent accurate from the field and 20 percent (2 of 10 from three), with some shots Became an airball or not likely to get in.



"Danny is not scoring properly. He's still a good keeper, still achieves stops, but the percentage goes down, and he takes harder shots," they analyzed in the Locked On Wizards podcast.

"In December he scored 50 percent from the field, improved the percentage from the three, and looked much better, but now it looks different. He's a player who does a little bit of everything, but needs to finish better in the ring and score the free throws from three. "It's clear if it's a matter of a drop in confidence. In any case, he has a good season so far and he has to get out of it. Keep throwing when he's free, keep going strong in the basket - only then will he get through it."

In the podcast they added that Avdia "has a great season overall, he stopped great players, kept excellent, took the task of falling into a defensive stopwatch with both hands, and surprised us that no one believed he would become one. Last season with Scott Brooks he was in a weird situation, not here And not there, and this season we beg to be part of the quintet that finishes games. "



At the same time, commentators warn of the physical hurdle he may face in the second half of the regular season, especially given his special circumstances - Abdia returned this season from injury, and since then, contrary to the trend in the rest of the league, has not missed a single game. In the Corona era this is a rarity - in fact, Abdia is one of only 21 players in the entire league who have not missed games this season. "Last season Danny ran into the Rockies wall, and I hope that doesn't happen this season either," Locked On Wizards said. "His goal in the short term is to improve the extension near the ring. We want to see him finish better near the ring, we have heard comparisons to Turkoglou and Tony Kokoch, and for that he needs to start drowning on people or at least finish strong lay-ups. The shooting from the outside may not be his strong point, but he needs to score the free throws. "



To conclude, groove in Washington: "We like what we see of him, and are very optimistic about him. Next season we see him improve in all of these areas, averaging something like 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game."
