Pro Israel Deni Avdija complains about not being given enough while he stands around and does nothing

[–] Fcusjfnfmfkg@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Have yall seen deni avdija shoot 3s? Its not pretty. Id much rather see poole shoot 3s than deni.

[–] Solid-Confidence-966@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Idk why he’s throwing his hands up like that, he’s one of the worst 3 point shooters in the league when accounting for volume lol

[–] Smekledorf1996@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s just preseason, dude probably wants to get up more than 4 shots

[–] Solid-Confidence-966@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

He only got up 4 shots because that’s what his skillset allows him to do. He’s limited as a shot creator, so most of his shots are spot up which he’s not good at making.

[–] spicyfartz4yaman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Unless you're a legitimate star , no reason to pass up an open shot for a bad one.

He’s not even trying to make his shot in this video, he’s wide open

I’m not saying Deni is great, but we’re talking about a preseason game where guys try to develop or fine tune their skills

[–] Solid-Confidence-966@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, and on this play it was Poole’s turn to do that.

[–] electricHats75@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So when he’s open. Hit him. Or lose another locker room while leading a team to 30 wins

[–] knockoutking321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I’m sure the pro nba players thinking “My three point percentage is below league average I shouldn’t expect the ball when I’m open cuz I’ll probably miss it 🤓”

[–] Murky_Low6667@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Really? That’s hilarious then

[–] CommercialSpecial835@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You actually think NBA players are thinking about stats like that in game bro.

Wow I thought he shot at least 33%. Damn he only shot 29% last year. My view of him has changed.

[–] CarryTheHellOn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lame as hell for this. How are you mad that your teammate scored

[–] keeper420@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dude, stop editing videos like tik tok trash

[–] Dreamlifehunting@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He is ripping them off twitter.

[–] Turbo2x@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Our fans ripped Beal apart for his attitude and body language on the court, so I hope they'll keep the same energy here. Hate shit like this so much.

Honestly, that reaction alone would be enough for me to want the dude off the team. The wizards are rebuilding and need to protect their culture or it will easily be poisoned. Deni isnt good enough to justify this behavior so get him off the team before it spreads and you need to lose more talented players

[–] OrganizationFar6086@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You’re right, the wizards should get rid of any player that actually wants to play organized basketball and surround Poole with dudes that are content with just playing defense so he can chuck every time down the court

[–] JayNBA5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

u/savevideo

[–] J_Otherwise@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I told ya'll!!!

-Deni in January 2024, when the Wizards are 12-32.

[–] juwanhoward4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’d be surprised if this doesn’t come to fruition exactly.

[–] ZiOnIsNeXtLeBrOn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

PTSD.

No wonder they trade Poole.

In a system that values ball movement and high value shots. Having a guy who just throws balls at the net isn’t worth it

[–] DontBanMe_IWasJoking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

people are trashing this guy, but this isn't isolated, i doubt he's acting like this because of a single missed pass.

if you're playing with a point guard you are expected to get a pass every now and then. good point guards get other players involved, which always leads to the team playing better

[–] BayTerp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (7 children)

I hate how no one seems to understand this. Having a point guard that doesn’t move the ball around usually means that the other players on the team will be ball stoppers when they get passed the ball. The ball movement for the Wizards is going to suck with Poole jacking up shots.

[–] Weak-Boysenberry3807@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wizards with the new heliocentric Doncic offense, except it's Poole lmao

[–] dontusethisforwork@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Juka Poncic?

Lordan Joole?

He’s a shooting guard though. It’s right there in the name

I mean, the warriors dumped him for a reason. And not just cause of the Draymond situation

Well Kobe didn't seem to need it.

[–] electricHats75@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (20 children)

He better get used to it. Bro was doing the same with Steph and Klay on the court. One time it was so bad Steph got ejected

A few guys playing for 2nd contracts over there. Poole has the green light with Kuz, but he may piss a lot of guys off

lmao enjoy this ball hog jordan poop. glad he is gone from the warriors

[–] CountTwoTenAgain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Warriors gonna pray for a Poole type player in 2-3 years. Future is bleak

[–] Neversoft4long@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is that not Danilo Gallinari? Or am I just fucking racist lmao

[–] NoLimitSoldier31@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s not invited to the jordan pool

[–] WTakesOnly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah this is a terrible look, him being disappointed in a make is a terrible attitude to have. We've seen this shit before, he's the type to prefer dropping 30 and lose the game over winning

[–] SenatorBimmons10@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] AnonymousPerson12000@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Deni “Draymond” Avidja

[–] CountTwoTenAgain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Deni is clearly a team guy /s

[–] Devoidoxatom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I remember people were so high on this guy as a prospect lol

Deni just sit back and play defense. Let Poole cook

[–] Sweatytubesock@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This Wizards team is going to be a league pass bonanza.

[–] Yellowperil123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's gunna be a long season mate.

[–] LZ_Khan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lmaooo Poole is the new Kobe but 20x more hateable. I can already tell his teammates hate him. Like he's good.. but he rarely makes the pass.

[–] Odd_Fan_7751@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Deni hit a game winner buzzer beater 3 against the Lakers during his rookie season. So there's that.

[–] sukari@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Better start working on that defense/rebounding
