The 2020 NBA Draft Lottery prospect once again showed why he continues to climb in the draft rankings as he not only put on a terrific offensive display but also a defensive one as well. Whether it was boxing out, grabbing a key rebound or a simple deflection, Avdija just keeps on going. Coach Ioannis spoke about Avdija\u2019s progress, \u201cDeni is a multi-faceted weapon and one way was in to have him guard the point. I expect him to improve defensively. To play for Maccabi you need to be good at both ends of the court and I\u2019m happy as to how he is playing and learning.\u201d Game MVP Tyler Dorsey had this to say about his role on the court in helping nurture the younger players, \u201cFor sure they are getting better every game and we want to be the best at the end of the season. I was young and it\u2019s all about confidence as he continues to play he will grow into that confidence.\u201d Finally, Amare Stoudemire expressed his excitement playing with a player who he perhaps sees a bit of himself in, \u201cI love playing with Deni. I love seeing and playing with a young guy with high expectations. It makes me work harder and want to work with him and it gives me a chance to teach the game of basketball as well. That\u2019s the gift of being the veteran player.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_17425\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/B3169C4C-51A1-416D-8FFC-46FA76A27FA9.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17425\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/B3169C4C-51A1-416D-8FFC-46FA76A27FA9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17425\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17425\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dov Halickman Photography<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n2) <strong>Although Deni Avdija had a fabulous game once again you could see something was bothering him throughout the 33 minutes of play and he revealed after the game that he was a bit sick<\/strong> as he commented about his performance, \u201cIt was Solid. I wasn\u2019t in great shape today and was feeling a little bit sick but on defense I knew I could do better as I had 5 turnovers as well and I have to take care of the ball better. On offense I clicked today and I am happy with what I did, but there are also ways that I can improve.\u201d The 19-year old is also content that there will some time off coming up as Euroleague play only resumes next Friday due to Cup weeks taking place all over Europe, \u201cThe rest days are very, very important. The staff do a great job in resting us so that we are fresh for every game and I hope that this can continue.\u201d Speaking of the Euroleague, last week, Avdija picked up the Euroleague Players Association Player of the Week Award, \u201cIt was an honor. The Euroleague is a high level league and if you win the player of the week that means you did something good and that you are working hard. I\u2019m just happy that the team is performing and doing well and winning games.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_17656\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/A3E342FC-3B2E-4DEA-B5BC-EF14076D65DB-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17656\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/A3E342FC-3B2E-4DEA-B5BC-EF14076D65DB-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"976\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17656\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17656\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Basket.co.il<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n3) <strong>Amare Stoudemire played close to 17 minutes, scored 14 points and added 6 rebounds in his best game to date with the Yellow &#038; Blue.<\/strong> STAT seems to be happy with where he is in life both on and off of the court and knows that he will be a crucial part of the club by contributing what the staff deems as necessary, \u201cI am here to do whatever the coaching staff needs me to do and accept the role that has been brought forth towards me. I am fine with that and the situation.\u201d He also talked about his performance against Beer Sheva, \u201cIt felt great. It felt amazing and I wasn\u2019t tired at all. I was cursing through and that\u2019s a good sign to show that my health is great and that my condition is perfect. Thank God I feel pretty awesome.\u201d What does Yehoshaphat see as being the key to his success with his new club? \u201cIt was good and I was able to build chemistry with my teammates and we get a chance to play with each other and learn each other so that will help us going forward.\u201d Coach Sfairopoulos was content with his new big man\u2019s showing, \u201cIt was his best game so far and I know he can play much better.\u201d While Amare himself is just really happy to be back in the Holy Land, \u201cI\u2019m in a good space in my life.

Teams that only have one or maximum two games a week are therefore at an advantage although the team of course wants to do the maximum Coach Sfairopoulos explained, \u201cOf course we want to do as best as we can. The Cup is easier for a team that can win one game and there are a lot of surprises. We had played back to back in Euroleague and then Jerusalem who we lost to. It\u2019s not easy to have the Cup game after two games and teams that only have one game are always less fatigued. EFES was knocked out of the Cup and they only have 3 losses. So it\u2019s not easy.\u201d Sfairopoulos also spoke about how Maccabi was able to take the win which was concentrating on defense and closing down the southern reds in half number two, \u201cWe had a great offensive game every period. We shot well from outside, high from inside and free throws, defensively we weren\u2019t as good in the first half and they had a lot offensive rebounds and we allowed easy baskets. We played much better defense in the second half.\u201d Tyler Dorsey as well pointed to the second half defense as being key to the victory, \u201cWe had a good half in the second and we cut down on the defensive end.
