Deni doesn’t have the mindset of an allstar. He has the mindset for a championship ring.

It’s not the change of Graford it is the change of the coach

He plays winning basketball. That’s why he stands out. Can he be an allstar? Yes.

i think deni was the best defender in the wizards from the start gafford is not close to him but he was the secend best defender

His progress is very impressive!

He needs to improve his left, mid range and 3 point % He's a hard worker, he'll do that.

Thanks, Wizards! 🙏 - Blazers

deni goal is not to be allstar, he always tries to do the right play and win games, i believe that in the future he will be the glue guy for a championship team.

He has long way to go but I’m sure he’ll improve even more

He is highly ambitious and talented. I believe he will become an all star.

The key word are: he is all task plyer, no one in his team can even come close... he work on all area and task require by the wizard for the long run.

Great & accurate review of him, fantastic player, curious how much can he improve in the upcoming years.

Besides the obvious "improve shots", "better decision making" which can be said to anyone in the league, Deni really needs to improve his screen setting abilities. At his size, he almost never seems to make an efficient screen, which hinders his 2 man game. Another aspect is to keep working on step back threes, as now players often close his right way to much. He already creates nice separation on those, now it's just getting the muscle memory to make them, as he usually hit them short

Deni can develop to a Jimmy Butler level player if he works hard. I'm talking All NBA level player. He has unique speed and size, his handling improved this year, his pull up game has improved. Next steps for him is to master driving left and not only right, and learning to drive with craftiness and body flexibility. That would make him into the All Star territory.

No’ 1❤❤

Amazing video 🎉🎉

Deni needs to be on a team that will know how to use him right. Since the wizards replaced the coach deni started to show what he's made of

The best

Future Allstar.

Welcome to Portland

ALL STAR

Portland fan here … HE’s OUR BEACON OF HOPE NOW 😂😂 ..

He works hard to get better..

Portland Trail Blazers fan here…he’s ours now. You guys got a pretty good haul though

What type of ceiling do you think he has? I’m a basketball card collector and potentially thinking about investing in him

Next year he will be even better. He is still not in his prime

Lez FN' Gooo 🥀 #TrailBlazers🤍🖤♥️

No question deni will be an NBA all star!! His career has been going in the same path as dirk and Giannis. Check the stats!

Better defender than Bird?

He will be league MVP

all depends on whos the coach will be.

I'm not convinced by the claims of Deni's significant improvement. While some point out his performance in February, it's important to note that's the end of season. The games don't matter, particularly with teams like the Wizards, who weren't in playoff contention. His role in the team's overall performance only led to 15 wins. What is his real impact of these inflated stats that don't translate to wins. Moreover, Deni has gotten no notable league recognition like an All-Star selection or even a nod for defensive player awards. All his praise is coming from random sources and nothing respected. This absence of accolades makes it hard to place him among the best young defensive players in the league. His peers don't even view him as such. This is a made up narrative. No top scorer in the league has ever said Deni was the toughest defender for them. While the comparisons made in the video are meant to highlight his potential, they don't seem justified when comparing his current achievements with those of the players mentioned, who have clearly established themselves at a higher level. I believe it's more realistic to view Deni as a solid contributor, though it's premature to expect more without seeing consistent performance improvements. This perspective isn't meant to undermine his potential but to temper expectations with realistic assessments based on his current track record. His been in the league since 2020 and we are still talking about his development.

You are pronouncing his name wrong. Put the emphasis on the first A. *A*vdija (correct) Avd*ij*a (incorrect) In the near future, you will all know how to properly pronounce it

arent you WATOP?

It’s the coach keefe

For deni to take that next step kuzma has to be off the team

He needs to leave the Wizards to a playoff team, just like Hachimora and Gafford did before him/ To play in the Wizards' organization is a waste of his talent, even though he just signed a 55M 4 years deal, which is not bad at all.

Nah he trash bro wtf you on about
