Eran Soroka of Sport5 in Israel and the Osim NBA Podcast joined the Bleav in Wizards podcast this week to discuss Deni Avdija’s recent stretch of inspired play. Soroka is an NBA analyst who follows the EuroLeague and Israeli league extensively, giving him a lot of familiarity with Avdija’s game. This allows him to comment on Avdija’s growth across his entire professional career as well as anyone following the NBA.
The discussion largely focused on Avdija’s defensive impact, why he hasn’t always gotten consistent minutes this season, what it would take for him to eventually be a starter, and his long-term ceiling.
