Draft this dude man
I just don't like his shot creation in half court. Is he a 4? Is he a 3? Reminds me a little too much of Derrick Williams when he came into the draft.
Well, Avdija has very few red flags on the defensive side of the court while the career of Derrick Williams fell apart because of defense.
I think it's worth mentioning that the free throw percentage seems like the big red flag. It's improving but lower than one would prefer from a wing. His three point percentage is improving and at age 19 is better than Luka's at the same age in European play. He isn't a point guard level offense initiator, but the Cavs went and drafted two guards under 6'3 the past two drafts, that's not on him. I've seen very few built 6'8 players who can see the court the way Avdija can.
I don't know if he will last until the fifth pick, but the criticisms I've read are pretty overblown. He's not Luka and he's not a prototypical American wing. Doesn't mean he isn't on his way to being a starting forward in the NBA for a long time, and the Cavs only had one guy like that in the past 20-25 years.
Lamond Murray rolling in his grave.
His season high in the Euro League is 13 ppg? Wow, what's not to like.
Looking at the footage he's really good at dunking uncontested. He has a nice 3-point stroke but I don't know what his shooting percentage is. The most 3's he made in a game was three.
He looks comfortable handling the ball on the break and throws a nice bounce pass. To me he looks like a Cedi Osman who can go to his left a little and is a better passer.
