To me, it is understandable that less than 30 games into his NBA career he is not the focal point or even secondary or tertiary option on the court, but I can understand the qualms about the ball not being in his hands more when he does show flashes of his capability. Following the team&#8217;s pre-game walkthrough, Scott Brooks had a 1-on-1 conversation with Avdija that he provided some details on. It is not the first time that Brooks has mentioned some players are still working their way back from COVID-19 that may be more applicable to the rookie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the fact that he competes, I like the fact that he\u2019s going to continue to battle. He played only seven minutes last game, that\u2019s rare. I just said [to him], it\u2019s normal to have some good moments and some tough moments,&#8221; Brooks repeated as he has mentioned before. &#8220;With the safety protocols, he missed three weeks in the middle of the season. That\u2019s hard to overcome and I just told him I\u2019m proud of him because he\u2019s overcome it and he\u2019s going to get through it and continue to develop and continue to get better as the season goes on. I don\u2019t know if the rookie wall is there, it could be there, but definitely, the safety protocol wall is there for all of our guys. Some guys are taking longer to get out of it than others.&#8221;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_30529\" style=\"width: 1090px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30529\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EvghviqXIAUdbgF.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EvghviqXIAUdbgF.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EvghviqXIAUdbgF-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EvghviqXIAUdbgF-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EvghviqXIAUdbgF-768x960.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30529\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deni Avdija &#8211; Photo Credit: Washington Wizards<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nBeing patient is easier said than done, but the silver lining continues to be that Avdija has a bright and long NBA future in front of him.

They know this kid is going to be really good this year and he\u2019s going to be better as the seasons go on in his career.
