Danny Avdia's excellent performance yesterday (Monday) against Auburn College did not go unnoticed by the Washington Wizards either, and the commentators covering the team are enthusiastic about the ability the Israeli displayed.
Chase Hughes, one of the team's senior reporters, wrote: "It was an atypical test, but Avdia passed it. He looked like the most talented athlete on the floor. He was also the best player. And as the game wore on, Avdia seemed to gain confidence and play with More aggressiveness. This will definitely make the Wizards happy as they hope this experience will help his long-term development in the NBA."

Others were enthusiastic and wrote: "He proves today why he belongs in the NBA. His body language looks very good."
Deni Avdija fouls out of Israel-Auburn with 25 points.
He shook off a slow start to play very well overall.
He was aggressive off the dribble (going right) and got to the line at will.
This dunk was a standout highlight.

Interesting seeing Deni Avdija take on a Kuzma-like vocal leadership role for Team Israel.
In this setting, he's the one with veteran knowledge to impart.

Deni Avdija slams it in off the fast break as Jay Bilas continues to praise his game.
"He's just such a skilled player, you love seeing him when he's aggressive."
I love seeing Deni in this role for Israel.
Need to see him bring this level of confidence back for next season.

things got out of hand in the third quarter for Auburn's defense as Deni Avdija caught fire, but it's just a 10-point deficit heading into the final period of the tour

Deni Avdija is in the NBA for a reason.
He's taking over this game for Israel.
