The year 2022 has not been bright for Danny Abdia so far. While Washington lost tonight (Saturday to Sunday) 115: 110 to Portland at the Capital One Arena and thus saw its three-game winning streak come to an end, Abdia recorded another offensive game not good enough. The Israeli played 19:47 minutes (less than 20 for the fifth time in a row) and finished with 6 points (2 from 6 from the field, 1 from 4 from three, 1 from 2 from the penalty spot), 4 rebounds, steal and loss.
In fact, it was Abdia’s seventh game in a row with a single-digit number of points, when this time too he failed to find the handle. So far in 2022 Abdia has recorded eight games in which he stands at 18 of 52 from the field (34.6%) and only 5 of 25 off the arc (20%), but there is an improving trend from the line, where he has scored 12 of 14 shots ( 85.7%). Where is he in relation to the rest of the NBA players? Here are the numbers:
– Of the 165 players who took at least 52 shots from the field, Abdia is ranked 155th, With only Kyle Laurie, Cole Anthony, Joshua Primo, Brandon Boston Jr., Garrett Temple, Alec Brex, Russell Westbrook, Devion Mitchell, Malik Beasley and Reggie Jackson behind him.
– Of the 132 players who took at least 25 threes, Abdia is ranked 130th, With only two of the league’s big stars behind him, Luca Doncic (19.1%) and Ja Morant (16%).
Of the 131 players who have taken at least 14 free throws, Abdia is ranked 34th.
Whoever reset the handle in the game between the Wizards and the Trailblazers, was the rising star in Portland – Anferni Simmons. The 22-year-old quarterback who serves as Damian Lillard’s substitute recorded the first half for the Pantheon with 26 points and 7 3-pointers at 70 percent, en route to a great game that included 31 points and 11 assists. Simmons, by the way, equaled Wesley Matthews’ club record with 7 3-pointers in the first half.
Notice the Simmons ’insane averages in the last six games in which Lillard and C.J. McCollum have not played: 28 points per game, 51% from the field, 5 threes at 46% from outside the arc, 91% from penalties and 8 assists. “Anferni becomes a player that everyone loves,” said the team’s coach at the end of the victory Chonsi Billups.
The various journalists in the United States also fell in love: “The future of Portland is here, Simmons is becoming a star before our eyes. In 2022, only three players will score more points on average than him – Yannis Antocompo, LeBron James and Joel Ambide. It has to happen around him. ”
