"Basketball in EuroLeague it's more team basketball, it's more tactics, and you have less time. NBA is tougher to play because you have many players that are basically impossible to guard", Doncic said. "But I would say that scoring is easier in the NBA just because of the different rules, the amount of space, the time, so that's why I said it's easier to score in the NBA."
"Scoring 30 points in a Euroleague game, it's harder than in an NBA game, 100% percent. I'm just saying this because of the rules.
In Europe, if you have a guy like Rudy Gobert, for example, he can stay in the paint for three seconds however he wants. Just because of that rule, here in the NBA, you can have ten more points easily".
This season Doncic averages 28.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 8.6 assists.
