On Thursday, less than a month before the 2020 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors met in person with Deni Avdija, a 19-year old wing currently playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Israeli Basketball Premier League.
According to Ethan Strauss of The Athletic, the Warriors were particularly impressed with Avdija’s intangibles. Here’s part of what Strauss had to say:
Not only did Avdija perform well in the workouts, but Warriors officials were blown away after meeting with him. The universal takeaway was that he’s a “great kid” with an immense work ethic.
