NBA Legend Damian Lillard Praises Potential Partnership with Deni Avdija
During the NBA's media day events, Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard expressed optimism about playing alongside Israeli forward Deni Avdija and new signing Ja Morant. Lillard, entering his 15th season and returning from injury, highlighted his confidence in Avdija and Morant's ability to contribute to a dynamic offense.
"If I get the ball and I pass it to Ja Morant, I feel pretty good about that, and if I pass it to Deni Avdija, I feel good about that," Lillard stated. The veteran point guard also anticipates a reciprocal trust, expecting Avdija and Morant to feel confident passing him the ball for open three-pointers.
Lillard, renowned for his exceptional three-point shooting, ranks fifth all-time in NBA three-pointers made and has won the All-Star Three-Point Contest three times, placing him among legends like Larry Bird and Craig Hodges. His endorsement of Avdija suggests a belief in the young player's offensive capabilities and potential fit within the team's strategy.
