Portland Trail Blazers star Deni Avdija recently appeared on the Draymond Green show, where he spoke at length with the Golden State Warriors veteran about several key topics.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija revealed on the Draymond Green Show that Nikola Jokic is the toughest player he has ever had to guard. Avdija explained that Jokic's rare combination of physical strength, elite passing, and touch floaters leaves defenders feeling helpless during games, with Green agreeing that the Denver Nuggets center is the league's toughest cover.
Avdija holds a 4-11 career record against Jokic across 15 matchups. The article also notes that while Avdija holds family roots in Serbia that could have theoretically paired him with Jokic internationally, he previously confirmed his commitment to representing Israel.
