Deni Avdija 2021: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements

Deni Avdija is an NBA player who plays for the Washington Wizards. He was drafted by them during the 2020 NBA Draft.

Avdija is the son of former professional basketball player Zufer Avdija. Though he went unpicked in the 1981 NBA draft, he represented Yugoslavia on the International stage and played in the Israeli professional league. 

Deni Avdija is a threatening presence on the court, standing at 6 feet and nine inches. He can effectively fill in all positions on the court, which adds to his excellence. A tremendous athlete who has been put to the professional test very early in his age. Thus, he is not afraid when it comes to delivering at the top level. 

His handles impressive and his shooting skills are eye-catching. Avdija’s step-back three-pointers are a thing of beauty, and it has more scope for improvement. 

Furthermore, the case for Avdija evolving as a point-forward is solid. He has an extraordinary court vision that allows him to drop dimes and is a very good defender too. Avdija is almost like a complete package, but his short wingspan for a player of his size is the only quality that he lacks.

Avdija was well-suited for the Israeli Premier League and he showcased what he can do on the big stage. Just a year later, after his professional debut, Avdija was brought into Maccabi Tel Aviv’s EuroLeague roster. 

He began posting impressive numbers in both the leagues that he was playing in. He declared his eligibility for the 2020 NBA Draft in April and finished the remainder of the Israeli Premier League Season when it resumed in June after the pandemic break.
