The New York Post interviewed Brad Greenberg one of Israel’s veteran head coaches about the prospects of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Deni Avdija<\/a> and what he can bring to the New York Knicks.<\/p>\n

Greenberg told the Post’s Marc Berman, \u201cHe made some significant jumps this year, but don\u2019t judge him on what he is at 19 on a roster, even 20. This a guy if he continues to get better like he did the last eight to 10 months, if he keeps that upwardness, he\u2019s going to be a player. How good, it\u2019s hard to say. It\u2019s projections.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just have to be patient. You can\u2019t expect him to step into an NBA camp and be just mature enough as a player to give you a lot, if anything. You just got to just believe he\u2019ll do it in a couple of more years. It\u2019s foolish to think he\u2019s going to step in and do a Luka Doncic on anybody.”<\/p>\n

The Maccabi Ashdod coach thought that Avdija had more of the skills offered up by Cedi Osman, \u201cYou\u2019re talking about a guy who plays 12 minutes a game in the Euroleague. It\u2019s not Luka Doncic. It\u2019s more Cedric Osman, and I like Osman.”<\/p>\n

\u201cDeni can handle the ball, he can drive, he can pass,” Greenberg said. \u201cHe\u2019s got a nice offensive skill set. His shooting will get better and better because he\u2019s a hard worker. He\u2019s a solid shooter, better shooter than Cedi.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
