The Washington Wizards seem to have found a gem in rookie Deni Avdija, and it’s most apparent in how he conducts himself off the court.
Through six games, Deni Avdija probably isn’t on the shortlist of Rookie of the Year candidates. He hasn’t had the highlights that Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman, or LaMelo Ball have. And he’s yet to put up a truly draw dropping box score.
Deni’s best game through the first six was vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Washington Wizards’ first win of the season.
