The NBA Have a Deni Avdija Problem
The NBA doesn’t have a talent problem. It has a vision problem.
While everyone’s chasing stars, one 24-year-old in Portland has quietly become the definition of complete basketball… guarding LeBron, passing like Jokic, and shooting 50% from the field.
Once labeled a role player, Deni Avdija is now exposing everything wrong with how the NBA values players.
This is the truth the league doesn’t want to admit.

He guards LeBron. Passes like Jokic. Shoots 50%. And nobody’s talking about him!!!
Is Deni Avdija the most underrated star in the NBA right now? 👇

דני משלנו עם ישראל חי , שחקן אגדה
I knew when I saw him playing on Washington, haven't kept up with him and seeing a random video on my youtube suggested with his name in it, I believe it.
He's the kinda guy that sitting on a bench in Tim Duncan's Spurs era but then giving you 20 points occasionaly. Boris Diaw kind of player.
He is the best superstar!
I believe Deni's career trajectory will lead him to become a superstar. I've followed him since his first game in a Wizards jersey, but unfortunately, the Wizards didn't utilize him effectively. His points-per-game (PPG) averages are quite telling: as a rookie, he averaged 6.3, then 8.4 in his sophomore season, followed by 9.2, 14.7, 16.9, and 22.6 so far this season. He truly has no ceiling.
Portland is my favorite team to watch because they play with intensity on both defense and offense. They apply full-court pressure and are relentless in their approach. They are definitely the best team to watch on League Pass.
As a side note, I hyped this video because it provides an in-depth breakdown and is just an excellent watch overall.
This indirectly explains why the Pacers have been so good the last couple years even though everyone that doesn’t watch them play can’t believe it. Everyone on the team is expected to do everything the best they can. Everyone has to pass, everyone has to move off ball, everyone has to be able to shoot.
Watched Portland crush my Warriors a few days ago. Speeding up and down the court, our oldsters couldn't keep up. Deni was instrumental.
Warriors should have took him when thay had the chance
The NBA wants fans in seats / $ so they better start showing guys like him more respect 💯🫡
Impossible 🧃 have no rhythm
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
He sucks, and his team is even worse.
Avdija the GOAT!
Im sorry man respect to D green but his not half a shooter of what Denni is , actually Denni can point guard can guard on any position and almost play in any position, i think Denni is allot more talented then just say that his the next draymond green , he is also draymond green but a little bit of nikola and a little from allot of other super talented players and he is 9th pick but the thing is that probably 90% of the coaches in the NBA didnt know what to ask from him to do , Washington didnt uad a clew how to use his talent and the thing is that he can realy be better and thats whats scares about him is that you see in his game that he can be better
Does the NBA have an antisemitism problem with Deni ?
“Dani is more than shooting and assists”
Shows only shoots and assists
All you said is true! So please show us those crucial non-highlight moments
your AI script is so bad man I din't know where to start
It‘s Stumptown. And they‘ve sucked while rebuilding. If he was a Laker he‘d be talked about. If they make some noise in the playoffs he‘ll be talked about.
Pronounced "Avad-yah," as a Hebrew speaker.
Deni is a superstar in the making
You say give Avdija +12FTAs a game he’s Luka Dončić?
Deni is so much fun to watch. I remember him being pretty hyped coming out of the draft, but his first couple of years on the Wizards weren’t anything to write home about. Now he looks fantastic. I’m excited to see what Ben Saraf does in his career too. There are some really interesting players coming out of Israel.
best all-around player since Scottie Pippen, you heard me
What a great player !!!!
Great video! Deni is awesome! He can do it all! 💪
דני הילד פלא שלנו !
Country pride for deni🫡
❤❤❤❤
Deni is underrated
From israel 🔥
Dude, great video!!❤
Dani de best
Thank you for this video! You better bet we Israeli fans follow Deni religiously, he's not only doing what we have always considered impossible for us, nowadays he's also pretty much the only thing we can be proud about in our country.
I think they're just scared of creating controversy if they do anything that acknowledges Jewish/Israeli excellence.
Wow man, you gave me chills!
As an Israeli who watched Deni back in his days at Maccabi (an Israeli team), it's just crazy to see his progress and his transformation into an NBA star.
Thanks for the video and the in-depth analysis!
פרוש כנפיים!
I was always thinking… if you take one of the best Euro Coaches put them on a decent NBA team, he forces them to play his way… they are probably winning the title in a couple of seasons
Why he was not top 3 draft pick⁉️
Genuine question.
b+ at everything is a good definition though he`s kind of an elite in fast breaks
I agree that he does everything pretty well, but he does some thing at elite level-he is one of the best drivers in the league (last season he was at teh top of the league in points per possession), and he is one of the best passing power forwards in the league
