Bradley Beal knows the Washington Wizards will be under the microscope this season after all the changes in the organization during the offseason. One of those new additions to DC is promising 19-year old Deni Avdija from Israel. The reigning Israel League MVP was grabbed by the Wizards as their ninth overall pick in this year's draft and the whole organization has high hopes for this young star.

And, it seems that the young Avdija is soaking all the available wisdom as the Wizards training camp goes full throttle. Bradley Beal, one of the premier leaders of this young team now that John Wall is gone, was seen on Avdija's ear trying to give the teenager some much-needed advice as he prepares to enter the very competitive landscape of the NBA.

“I was thrown right to the fire, like you were.” Beal told Avdija during practice (via Wizards on Twitter). “You're always going to feel like you didn't do good because you have high expectations for yourself, and you should. I would say, just embrace every single moment of the year. You're gonna have good days, horrible days and in-between days. Embrace all of them because you need all of them.”

Avdija was one of the brightest prospects in the 2020 draft class after an impressive three-year stint with Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel where he won three titles and an MVP crown. He's looking to make a big splash in the NBA and looks to add to the young core of the Wizards with the likes Thomas Bryant and Rui Hachimura.

Beal, the Wizards' third overall pick in the 2012 draft, is looking to lead this young Wizards team back to playoff contention. Last year's runner-up scoring champ will be beside former MVP Russell Westbrook who came in the blockbuster trade between the Wizards and the Rockets. Both Beal and Westbrook are hoping to steer their young players like Avdija towards the right direction as a new chapter in DC is set to begin.
