Projected top-five pick Deni Avdija will reportedly be traveling to the United States this week in order to prepare for the 2020 NBA Draft, according to Kuzey Kılıç of Eurosport Turkey.
The 19-year-old will apparently train at the P3 training facility in Santa Barbara, California. The venue has hosted several pre-draft prospects over the past several months, including Tre Jones, Daniel Oturu and Jaden McDaniels among others.
Avdija said in June that he wanted to finish his season with Maccabi Tel Aviv before moving to the U.S. for the NBA Draft. He is considered to be one of the top international prospects available after averaging 12.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in Israel.

The 6-foot-8 forward projects to fit in well as a secondary ball-handler and cutter for an NBA team. He struggled some with his shot in Israel but his versatility on defense and ability to create for himself has teams intrigued near the top of the draft.
The 2020 NBA Draft is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 16.
