Summary of the final of the Spanish Cup in basketball: Real Madrid - Barcelona 85:96/Sport1
Danny Avdia went into the All-Star break in peak form, after an unforgettable game of 43 points that ignited the imagination about the continuation of his career in the NBA.
Brandon Scott, who covers Washington closely, spoke extensively about the Israeli in his podcast Locked On, and complimented him on the wonderful breakthrough in the last two months.
"We know what he can do defensively - he keeps at the highest level in my opinion, there's no doubt about that. But the thing we've always been waiting for is the offensive side, and he's finally doing it, he's breaking through offensively. The things I like to see is first of all that he stopped Hesitate shooting from beyond the arc. His release has become so quick. He's aggressive, draws fouls, dunks on people. I love what I see from him."
Scott added: "Obviously Tyus Jones is the center, but is it possible to run the attack through Danny? Without a doubt, and it happened. His vision of the game is out of this world. His passing abilities are very impressive, and we need to run more attacks through him. He He impressed me a lot. He still has a lot to work on in the attack, but he is clearly improving. He has become a weapon in the attack."
When asked about the shortcomings that still exist in the Israeli's game, Scott said: "He still needs to work on his left hand, on playing from half distance, and he argues with referees, sometimes from the other side of the floor. He must clean it up, there is a time and place to talk to referees and attacks Eruptions are not one of them."

Still, Scott gave Avdia an A- grade for the season so far, and as far as he's concerned, this is just the beginning.
"How do you go from a top-five player to an All-Star?"
The American podcaster wondered, "Very simple: What separates top-five players from All-Stars is inhibitions. Okay, we know you can score 43 in one game, now we have to see if he can be a scorer of 15-20 points a night, that's the goal.
"I think he can .
With his repertoire in attack, he can get there.
His next step is to become a more consistent scorer.
The amount of shots in a team with Jordan Paul and Kyle Kuzma might make it difficult for him, but my expectations for him are very high.
It's really cool to see him develop, and other teams should pay attention to him."
