Deni Avdija has officially declared for the 2020 NBA Draft after completing the needed paperwork on Thursday, as he announced on ESPN‘s Get Up.

The Israeli-Serbian forward enters the draft as one of the hottest names on the list, coming off from a three-year stint with Maccabi Tel Aviv, with which he averaged 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19 minutes per game.

“First of all, the NBA is the best league in the world. There is a lot to learn over there and a lot of experience there,” Avdija said upon the announcement.

“It’s going to be great to take my game to the next level. […] I’ll tell you honestly, I don’t like to be compared to anybody. I think each player has his own path, and each player has his own skills and things he does good. And I think I just want to be the best Deni I can be. I just don’t want people to compare me to anybody. I respect everybody, but I just want to be me”, added 19-year-old Avdija.
