By far the biggest opposition to Luka Doncic as a prospect and future NBA player has been how he holds up against NBA athleticism.
Doncic, the Mavericks recent draft savior, relies more on skill than speed — although that’s not to say he’s a “bad” athlete. Just of all the things Doncic is great at, his athleticism isn’t necessarily something that shows up in the strength column of a scouting report.
While the top European leagues can mimic the NBA in some regards to athleticism, it still can’t really compare. So as we wonder how Doncic will look against NBA athletes let’s pass the time by watching.
