this is going to be an interesting thread to look back on in 5 years. the comps and analyses are all over the place.

Yeah, he probably has the widest range out of all the prospects mocked in top 5.

Re: Deni Avdija - 2020 draft
I've watched this kid interviewed and he makes a compelling case in the way he carries himself. Good pedigree and clearly a hard worker.
Can't help.but feel that with all those things in his favour, especially his dad's input all these years, he should be further along if he was really a top talent. I know he's young but athletically, skills and BBIQ wise he's not exceptional, just very good. We might be watching a guy whose best is closer to today's output than with other prospects.

I have said it before but I think he is going to be a pure SF version of Detlef. A low tier #3 or absolutely elite super glue guy #4.

Re: Deni Avdija - 2020 draft
look much developed from before the break, i'm startin to see a lot Jimmy Butler in him, definitely a top 3 pick and should be candidate for #1!

Re: Deni Avdija - 2020 draft
Another great game, seems like the norm.
in 21 minutes - 18 points (7/10 shooting including 2/5 from 3pt, and 2-2 from the line), 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal.
He's much stronger and it's extremely evident he worked on his body during the corona - which is something I think people tend to disregard - he is an extremely hard worker and a guy who will likely reach his potential due to being a gym rat.
That to me is his most important quality as a talent.

Another thing is since the corona - only 2 games but still - he is 9/10 from the line.

yeah I heard the same, I think he is 6'9.5 with shoes or so I'd say, not 6'9 barefoot though, but maybe

Man, even at 6'9 he looks so fluid. Definatley a pure SF prospect and in a time when tons of teams are in need of a SF, he should go very high. Would love for Portland to move up for him but he is gaining too much steam for that to be feasible. I think Osman is his floor, and that's quite a high floor.

Re: Deni Avdija - 2020 draft
He looks like hes gonna be a dangerous wing in transition. I also like how hes not afraid to get down low and post up.
Why doesn't he avg more assist though? From what i can see hes a very good passer and has a high IQ running the fast break. Is it mins or quality of teammates or something?

Yeah hes not a good enough shooter imo to be a higher ceiling than Osman who also isnt. Deni right now does project to be a similar role player and that position is coveted but not high lottery worthy imo
