Now that the 2023-24 calendar year in the NBA is officially underway, the 2020 draft class is up for contract extensions. This includes the Washington Wizards’ 9th-overall pick in the draft, Deni Avdija. The Israeli forward who averaged 9.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game last season, will be expecting a multi-year contract from the Wizards.
So, what should the Washington Wizards offer the 22-year-old?
Over the last three seasons, Avdija has proven himself to be a capable rotation player. He is a good individual defender, active as a help defender, and plays with a good level of effort and concentration.
