Deni Avdija Drafted At No. 9 By Wizards
4 years agoWith the ninth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards have drafted Israeli forward Deni Avdija. A talented young player for Maccabi Tel Aviv, Avdija has good size and playmaking ability. He's also potentially the worst shooting wing in this draft if we base things on his free throw shooting, as he shot just 58.8 percent from the line last season. The shot will have to improve for him to get consistent run on this Wizards team. Because of that, he doesn't seem like a player who'll return fantasy value as a rookie, though all of his other skills give him arguably the highest longterm ceiling in this class. He'll be a great dynasty asset.
