Beijing time on November 18, according to the "San Francisco Chronicle" reporter Connor Letourneau reported that the Warriors are very interested in Israeli star Denis Avdia.
Connor Letourneau said:
"If the Warriors give up the top three picks, they may be eyeing Israeli small forward Afdia. He can defend multiple positions and become the team's second ball holder. According to league sources, The Warriors are already'fascinated' by Afdia’s technical level and believe that he can develop into a Danilo Gallinari-style player."
Afdia is 2.06 meters tall and is a typical European striker. Dominates the ball, has excellent vision, and has a strong defensive performance. There is a premise in
Connor Letourneau's words. Only when the Warriors give up the top three picks will they target Afdia. Giving up the top three picks is equivalent to the Warriors trading down draft picks. From the current situation, it is difficult for the Warriors to trade down. There is almost no big fish in the free agency market, and the Warriors will probably use the second pick on their own.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the Warriors choose one of Edwards, Ramello and Wiseman before taking a deal.
Afdia is one of the few instant rookies who can prove he can adapt to the professional league this year, and what the Warriors want is instant strength.
In the 2019-20 season, Afdia played 21.7 minutes per game in the Israel League and the Champions League, averaging 9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2 assists.
