Danny Abdia after the win over the Lakers (Wizards' Twitter account)

Since Bradley Bill decided to undergo surgery and the Wizards practically gave up trying to qualify for the playoffs, Danny Abdia began to get more opportunities to lead the ball and make decisions on Washington’s offense.

The Israeli's teammate, coordinator Ish Smith, last night (Wednesday) referred to Abdia's abilities as a playmaker during a press conference.

"Danny is getting better at it, I heard he was excellent at it in Europe," Smith said.

"He can flourish in many aspects on the pitch, and I think the coach is trying to lead him to those areas. Whether it's in pick and roll, in passing shots, in defense. He has a lot of abilities, and they are revealed slowly but surely. He was excellent in pick and roll in the first half. "Against Houston and against Denver, he is able to lead the ball and make moves. He is getting better."

Further on, Smith was asked how high (2.05 meters) is an advantage for Abdia as a ball carrier, and replied: "That size is important. I saw him make a move on Dennis Schroeder, who is an excellent keeper. He used his power and managed to finish above him. It's impressive, It continues to grow and improve and height is a significant advantage. "

The game against the New York Knicks, in which he finished without assists, was unusual among Abdia's last five, who were more involved in the execution of the Washington offense.

Against Golden State, the Lakers and Houston he delivered assists in every game, while against Denver he recorded three.
