Deni Avdija Will Finish Season With Maccabi Before Preparing For 2020 NBA Draft 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Jun 19, 2020 7:09 pm

Deni Avdija will resume his season with Maccabi Tel Aviv when the Israeli basketball league returns Sunday.


Avdija is projected high lottery pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.


"Before I go to the U.S., I have a job to finish here in Israel," Avdija wrote in an email to ESPN. "As a competitor I am committed to my organization and teammates to help bring a championship to Tel Aviv. We were having such a great season, so winning the title, even with the delay and without live fans, will give me a sense that the hard work paid off."


Avdija is averaging 12.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 27 minutes per game.
