The start of the season for the Washington Wizards and Danny Avdia is far from stable.
The Wizards were already in the top six in the Eastern Conference, but now they are on a seven-game losing streak, the longest in the league, which has dropped them to 12th place and out of the playoff picture.
While the Wizards are trying to get their season back on track, in "Bleacher Report" they suggested a possible solution that might get them out of the crisis - benching Danny Avdia.
On the American website we discussed ten top five players in the NBA who should move to the top five for their own good and that of their team, the Israeli forward was one of them.
Is it better for him to come off the bench?

"The Wizards aim to be a winning team in the near future, not the distant one, so they need to limit Avdia's exposure and give the spot in the top five to someone who contributes more consistently."
In "Bleacher Report" we claimed that if the team from the capital was in the process of rebuilding, then the Israeli placement in the starting five would have made more sense and would have allowed the growing pains of such a team to forge it.
However, the team from the capital is trying to win now, otherwise they would not have given a quarter billion dollar contract to Bradley Beal and surrounded him with players like Kristaps Porzingis.
In "Bleacher Report" they suggested a number of possible replacements for Abadia in the top five, depending on what the team is looking for: "If they want more defense and ball handling, then they can start with Delon Wright when he returns from injury. If they want spacing, Corey Kispert is the solution. If they Looking for shooting, Will Barton and Roy Hachimura are preferred options."
In his third season in the NBA, Avdia has played 28 games so far, 25 of them in the starting five.
In 25.4 minutes per game on the floor, he averages 7.7 points, a decrease of 0.7 compared to last season, when percentages from the field and outside the arc also saw a decrease from the 2021/22 season.
