Portland Trail Blazers coach the coach has revealed a strategic plan for Israeli player Deni Avdija's playing time, aiming to enhance his efficiency and impact. In a recent preseason game against the London Lions, which Portland won 119-66, Avdija played 17 minutes, scoring nine points. The coach explained that this is part of a deliberate approach to manage player minutes, a departure from last season's strategy.
"He was efficient. I think he's really playing at a high efficiency. Even though tonight he only shot four times from the field, he got to the free-throw line three times in 17 minutes and also had four assists," the coach stated, praising Avdija's decision-making and execution of team plays. The coach added that Avdija's efficiency is boosted by the presence of healthy teammates and the team's overall depth.
The coach elaborated on the new minute allocation strategy, which involves dividing Avdija's playing time into three segments per half rather than the previous method of playing short bursts. "I think it's done him good, because it allows him to stay fresh throughout the first half," the coach commented. He also challenged Avdija to improve his play on both ends of the court, noting his effort on defense.
The coach emphasized the team's overall depth as a key advantage, even with players like Shaedon Sharpe absent. The coach believes that keeping players fresh will provide a competitive edge over opponents who rely on longer player stints. He envisions using shorter, high-intensity bursts from different lineups to maintain maximum energy levels throughout games.
