He does play like kobe Bryant
The both good
58% free throw .
@@pravinmadavi8373 im sure he will work on he free throws
His game looks solid. I’ll be keeping an eye on this kid through his years in the league
Reminds me of a younger ginobili he will be a consistent player
@@chill5709 Avdiha is higher. He's 205 cm. Manu was 198 cm

So would i
As an Israeli man, it's really nice to see Deni have succes. Go on Deni!
Huge fan of these breakdowns.
The thing that I love the most about this video is the fact that he is actually learning and taking notes on his game. I am following him this season and he is improving each game. I really hope he'll get a good team like spurs or suns next season, just hope he won't end up in Cleveland or Atlanta. He has a lot of potential and he is a real professional, he just needs the right environment.
Good team like the suns lmao
I think the suns are a good environment for him, they got some good players and of course they have Ricky Rubio which is a european player that will help him adjust to the league and will make him feel a bit more comfortable
What’s wrong with the hawks environment?? I thought we was straight.
@@DBY28 I laughed when you first said that but it's true. Rubio can be a good mentor and will understand him because he was in his position at one time too. We also have a smart coach in Monty Williams.
Most international guys it's about the city and environment they are drafted to.
Love the questions from the interviewer and the humility for this kid to break down his tape and admit how he can improve! great content, this kid will be a monster!
Love how humble and honest he is.
I was expecting him to have a thick accent. Dude sounds like he could be from America
I was trying to figure out how he sounds more American than half of America😂😂😂
@@thejrodshow7679 Most Israeli's speak English very well
OrganicThoughts he’s saying he doesn’t have an accent
@@keor2 Everyone has an accent including americans. Your own accent sounds normal to you so other accents sound non-normal
@@timothysmith4330 thanks smith. i don't know why they think accent is for all but americans. such a dumb guess.
Wall, Beal, Prince Deni, Rui, this is a heck of a line up.
Wall? What wall!?
This guy has a definitely bright future. With the right coaching staff, he can get to the highest levels. You can tell he is very open-minded to learn and progress. He reminds me of Luka Doncic Draft, Dallas stole this diamond under everybody's nose.
I agree... I'd like in San Antonio, or Timberwolves!
Cuban should be thinking!
anonymous ! He is going to the bulls
Free throw 58%. Next lanzo ball.
@@pravinmadavi8373 he can improve
I'm a burnt fan of Maccabi Tel Aviv, going to games.
Avidia is a tremendous player who gets better over time. In the future, he could be the next superstar

Gonna be a superstar..!
Seems really smart and it really isn't easy for a 19-year-old from Israel to learn English so well. His game is already nice and coach Sfairopoulos and his team can help him improve. Could see him getting drafted as a top5 pick.
its actually very easy for a 19 years old from Israel to learn and speak English, and his English is just OK. everything in Israel: products, appliances interfaces, operating systems, phones, video games are usually in English, and TV and music is really Americanized. its very different from Europe or the far east, where they put extra effort to sustain everything in their own language.
@@kukublof5057 I will admit I didn't know that.
All the Israelis know English well
@@billkevin4501 English is the 3rd official language of Israel and is taught in schools from a very young age, for example, by law all official state signs like streets and road signs must be always both in Hebrew, Arabic and English.
Love his willingness to accept criticism and evaluate himself on his weaknesses, really shows a bunch of maturity for a guy his age
דני! אוהבים אותך ימלך!
People are saying this draft class is weak but guys like this can really break through when they enter the league and could be a threat for the future
SPURS PLEASE GET THIS GUY!!!!
Faaaaact
He's gonna be solid in the NBA because he's a hard worker. He loves the game.
If he goes to the Warriors its a wrap. Steve Kerr and GM Bob Myers have to love this kid.
Also he's a warrior fan
They’ll have a chance to get em unless the Timberwolves draft em
@@HandsomeHustler they'll feel too much pressure to do that. They'll take Ant Edwards.
Artuas karnisovas loves this kid
Dwyane Curry he’s a Bulls fan
Deni, we all love you! Can't wait to see you kill it next year. All love from the Israeli community. Make us proud!
He seems like he really wants to improve and is open to learning. Should be a good nba pro.
I love him being honest. So refreshing. Take example the Kobe question.
Why Warriors will draft him:
1. He's a threat to Andrew Wiggins in SF position (That's enough to motivate him)
2. Warriors don't want to draft center like James Wiseman, he's a bit slow in terms of switching (It'll be hard to cover Steph's defense without switching)
3. Secondary ball handler to Stephen Curry
4. He can be facilitator of 2nd unit
5. He's a great defensive wing (3rd best in this draft next to Devin Vassell and Isaac Okoro)
I’ve come around on this kid. He’s gonna be a star. Go Dubs.
@@anthonylamont6518 warriors are not gonna draft this kid, straight to the bulls he shall go
@@sayonramanan82 he's so smart too .. i love his mentality while watching him breakdown every plays .
Great Observation. I hear he doesn’t have a quick offensive first step to bypass defenders, also heard his shot is broken. What are your thoughts...
Warriors won 73 games with Andrew Bogut who wasn't a switchable defender. James Wiseman has that type of potential as a rim protector but is way more mobile and way more athletic.
Mike, do a new breakdown video with Deni on his post-pandemic games, where he looked much better. We're starving for new Deni breakdown video. Much regards: Deni fans around the world 😊
Confident but humble. Also seems very self-aware. I can imagine he would be an absolute pleasure to coach. I hope you get to the NYK, Deni!! Kol hakod! Wish you a great career!
If the warriors want a PF or SF, Avdija is the deal... he can play pg too.
I don't see him playing point. But I think warriors drafting Wiseman and then Deni with their twolves pick might work very well.
Steph, Klay, wigg, Draymond, Wiseman
Bowman, lee, Deni, paschall, Looney
Poole, Smailagic, Chriss
I'm good with that lineup
@@vict1435 bowman poole will be traded poole not even know what hes doing on the floor so how he play with steph,klay and we have next years wolves pick so toppinwiseman,avdija or ocoro all this 4 players will be good for us only we dont know which pick we get
@@vict1435 and we need couple veterans too we cant play with only young guys
@@vict1435 Twolves pick is next year bc that class is loaded
He's one player I have no idea what position he will play in the NBA. He honestly could play PG, SG, SF. I could totally see the T-Wolves or Cavs drafting this guy.
Yep scouting describing him as the most versatile player in this class for this reason.
Personally I'd love to see him playing as a point forward who run an offense as a PG and guarding SF's on defense.
I think he has three elite skills, scoring, open court game (outlet/bounce passing, on ball driving) and court vision. Scoring- he just has extremely good combination of size, ball handling and passing, and that's going to make teams respect his passing ability and not leave other players open which would leave him a lot of times on miss matches against small defenders. Transition- impressive to see a player his size push to ball so fast with a dribble or passing when there is an opportunity for it. And his vision- he's one of these guys that can see two steps ahead. If the team drafts him will tighten his handle up to the point he can run an offense whenever he wants, he's gonna be a problem.
Granted good health, worst case scenario, he's an extremely solid and reliable contributor for a decade.
Guy has great fundamentals,takes criticism really well quite coachable.
גם אנגלית מצויינת..

Interesting
perfect guy to carry spurs into next generation. deni, luka, lonnie, dejounte. solid future.
@adam johnson stranger things have happened.
The main thing for him is to work on driving left and to know how to change his direction to go around a defense rather than running in a straight line only. He's already a good post player, passer, and respectable shooter.
this guy's up next in the league fr fr
Who’s here after the BULLS got the 4th pick!!
Hopefully AK and Marc don't screw this one up. They are on a very good path so far
he might be top 3 no lie.....Warriors could use him so well and trade Wiggins for a Center !
I am hoping they pick him at #4
Facts as soon as they got the pick I did research I already knew about Obi Toppin. I needed to put my self on game with Deni Avdija and I must say Obi or Deni you can’t go wrong. In AK and ME we trust let’s go bruh on to the future.
Oh yeah!!
Who’s here after the wizards got him!
Me
Yahl came up
Rooting for this guy heavy
He already thinks of the game like a vet yet he is still learning how to apply and craft the skills to use that brain, plus he will probably learn so many little tricks. He has the Gilbert Arenas/Kobe mentality of breaking it down and knowing specifically how to break down the defense. Also he has massive hands, I noticed it on film but seeing him in an interview I can tell as well
Could be a steal in the draft he knows how to make right plays he probably can get his teammates better
He's a projected lottery pick. Would be hard to be considered a "steal" if he was picked in that range.
Not comparing him to Luka, but Luka at number 3 was most certainly a “steal”
@@tatertots2395 lottery picks that are drafted past the 10th pick could be steals donovan mitchell
@@dj2k602 hes going top 5, so no, hes not a steal
@@YoniTeitelbaum just because the mock says that, doesn't mean it's true they could drop
A great team player, in the most impressive way
Get him in a Bulls jersey
I hope the Chicago bulls get him in a bulls jersey
He a Bulls fan so maybe he pulls a Lonzo or Barrett and forces his way over by only doing one workout lol
Da Chicago bulls will get him in a bulls jersey
Travis Andrews I agree. It’s a lock if the first three are Edwards, LaMelo and Wiseman.
Don’t worry about a bulls jersey. He’ll he a HORNET
You can see how will some european prospects do in the league through their personalities. Watching interviews from Luka, Kristaps, and here with Deni, they have confidence and they know their game really well. Thing you can't see with Dragan Bender or Mario Hezonja. Both still has trouble with their confidence and struggling in to be good in the league coz of that.
Spurs material
WHOS HERE BECAUSE OF ARTICLES THAT WE THE SPURS SHOULD GET HIM
This guy is going top 8. He ain't reaching the Spurs unless multiple teams make dumb picks.
Bro they already have Luka Samanic
Zz cc Luka isn’t as good as him, and Deni played in a way harder league than samanic
What
Zz cc they are both combo forwards but Luka is more of a 4 and Deni is more of a 3. Also Demi is just better overall
You ALL NBA fans, remember when you see him on court: THE KID IS FROM M A C C A B I TA!
You are speaking to (mostly) Americans! Americans don't know anything outside of the USA. Most of them won't be able to find Tel-Aviv on a map and don't know the difference between Euroleague, Spanish league, German second division or China.
We don't like jews.
If you disagree, you should leave this website since it’s been built by Americans
"Palestone" never existed
Who are we? Who cares who you like? They dont like u too
I played against him great guy and work hard wish him the best
Omg you little kid stfu no u didn’t
Who's here after he got drafted by the Wizards?
I am not excited I wanted TOPPIN. I do not trust our FO AND BROOKS! I cannot imagine a FOREIGN DRAFT pick for the WIZ going WELL! I liked Rui last draft but we needed TOPPIN.
@@josephseibert1540 i disagree. without a doubt Toppin is good but Deni to me has a higher ceiling. Its a risk and reward type pick for me but I think they made the right decision
Bob Myers and Steve Kerr will take the chance of Deni before Wiseman. He would fit great with the Warriors.
Well this aged well 😭
Welcome to the PDX Deni!
That’s my cousin, love you bro can’t wait to see what the future holds...
OH MY GOSHHH THAT DUNK !!!!!!!
Cavs please draft this dude!!!! He's got superstar written all over him
As a maccabi fan- he is pretty good... Got a great potential but need to improve alot of aspects in his game to be an nba superstar material...
The team that will draft him will need to be patient with his development. he is far far from doncic imo, but can develop to be a solid nba player especially due to his high bb iq and vision of the court. Gl deni🇮🇱💛
He's not Luka, he's Avdija by it's own way and he have the potential to be a superstar in this league. He have a better defense than Luka, better athleticism, better quickness, shooting are pretty similar, court view are similar, winning mentality are similar, The only advantages Luka have over him at the moment are leadership and creating his own shots, but Deni have the skills to improve it.
@M.Z.Fibula I watched Luka for 2 years in Europe and I watched Deni for two years as well. It's very wrong to compare shooting just by numbers, there are so many other factors that affecting shooting numbers. Luka played for the richest team in Europe. They were full of high quality players around him and could afford themselves to be more patience for his mistakes. And believe me, he did tons of mistakes at the beginning. Maccabi TA, Deni's team, having around the 7'th or 8'th best budget in Europe and is more panic if something goes the wrong way. It's also a team that in general have a less tradition in giving major playing time for young talents. No matter how talented they are, because they have really low patience for mistakes which every young player makes. That's part of the reason it took Deni much more time to grow as a player, and he's still just at the beginning of his growth while Luka was way more polished the same age.
Skills wise, Luka has some advantages and disadvantages. His ball handling is more polished, though Deni's ball handling potential is VERY underrated. And I'm saying it as someone who watched his youth games and saw the way he can create for himself off the dribble. Deni has the potential to be almost as good passer as Luka is. If you would watch his youth games, you would see some insane passes from him. He can create for others shots even from 60 feet away and when the ball goes between a few defenders. He's a better athlete, quicker and faster the same age, he also taller and is a better defender. Those the advantages or similarities Deni has the same age, if you're not considering stats (which affected by many factors that not depended on the player) and goes only by potential and skills. Luka's advantages the same age are: he's more aggresive offensively, more polished ball handling and especially with his left hand, he's shown more creativity on creating his own shots while slashing (though Deni has shown those at his youth games, but not enough on his pro team yet), and Luka's touch is slightly better as well the same age. Those are the differences, as I see it.
How do you feel now after the playoffs 🤔

Dame just went down. I hope the Blazers tank and pick this dude up. Would be huge for us.
done deal
@@omerazulay3198 four years later. What a difference. Entire team is changed now.
Get ready cause I think that will a competition between Luka Doncic and Deni Avdija, the one ia wonderful shooter and the each is amazing atletic and playmaker
Either him, LaMelo, or Okoro would be instantly great for the bulls
Not taking Okoro at 4
Bulls need a SF, he'd be perfect
He could be a solid player. High iq guy who should be able to shoot it but will need years to work on his body and handle. I love how Deni really took charge of this interview and proves he will be a lottery pick.
Welcome to Chicago 🙏
Future Chicago Bull!
Sikeeeeee
Just say he grew to 6'9 or even 6'10 so thats a game changer
Bro he’s going to the warriors they just had a workout with him and they said they were blown away.
Pissed the Hawks are gonna miss out on him. Been following this talented individual for a while now. 😤
Deni gone surprise a lot of people in the league he’s fearless I underestimated Luka I think this kid will be fine though Hawks had to take Ice Trae
The Knicks better draft him, I've watched many games of his for months, he's got some serious talent
Leeor Sellouk you know the KNICKS they wil never draft this guy. They will end up drafting another hype guy that will turn into a bust.

Dont be surprised if this kid goes 1,2 or 3. That would drop Ball, Edwards or Wiseman down to 4th. Bulls are in a good spot either way. Ball would be the best fit out of the 4.

There is reports the warriors want him and Edwards

Great video Mike
Gallinari with more playmaking and less shooting. Top 5 pick
Good video Basketball breakdown good awesome
I like this kid, as a Knick fan I hope we draft him.
Last draft might have had 2 Superstars with chance of an MVP, and also some other good kids, but this one is extra talented, I can see 10 All Stars coming from this and maybe 1 or 2 Superstars, but generally it's packed.
An adult segment....not talking down to the audience. Well done ESPN.
Reminds me of Gordon Hayward
Welcome to Chicago sir
Do haliburton next
If the Knicks can’t draft lamelo or wiseman draft this kid he would be a great addition
The next International NBA future All Star....IQ, passing, ball handling and shooting...though not as crafty as luka but still a skillful player ........
I hope da Chicago bulls do what the Dallas Mavericks did when they draft luka 🙏
We need more of these tbh
Who's here becuz Warriors drafted him 🙌
Lol dude Warriors drafted James Wiseman, you on the acids 🙃
Edwards is about to tear everybody a new one
I hoped to see him play with luka in dallas will be so cool to see double team
Not gonna happen
