@@tomeullabres5288 the thing is NBA players that go there, go after the NBA kicks them out and their bodies can't handle the game as much. Legit euroleague MVPs have been mediocre players here or at best role players for a long time. Anthony parker, Rodriguez, de Colo, Bjelica ECT. I do believe Navarro, Fernandez, Llull, Teodosic, prigioni all could have been solid to good players but those are legit MVP Calibur players there. If the NBA and euroleague merged right now the new league would be a majority American and NBA players. The euro players already in the NBA would obviously stay but it wouldn't be that many euroleague players that get to stay.

@@chipskylark1235 Euroleague has raised its level a lot in recent years. Of course, not everybody is Luka but there are a lot of great players. Anyway, the reason Luka says that scoring its easier in the NBA it's because of the rules and the size of the court. In Europe deffensive 3 seconds don't exist and the court is smaller. These 2 things help a lot on defense and referees allow harder defense in Europe.

[@Muhnyeah]

the problem with ben simmons is that he's ambidextrous to the point that it becomes a double-edged sword for him. he becomes an excellent ball-handler, he can drive right or to the left with ease and finish with the right and left with confidence. his post work is good too because he can finish with both hands but at the same time, because his ambidexterity is embedded in him, it becomes his habit to use both of his hands while shooting. sometimes he'll use left, sometimes he'll use right by instinct which makes his natural jumpshot really inconsistent. he really needs to rebuild his jumpshot by scratch but that would mean a lot of airballs, frustration, etc.

ismail adam Luka is already one of the most clutch players in the league. He can overtake games and win them for you. I haven’t seen that from Ben. So how is he a far better player than Luka? He might be slightly better because of his defense but there ain’t that big of a difference as you are saying

[@keonihunter1635]

ismail adam I’m pretty sure the 76ers would take Luka over Ben... you don’t understand that magic played in an era where 3pt shooting wasn’t used like it is today.. Ben needs to step up and make shots for his team to win games.. luka is 2 years younger than Simmons and much more skilled... I’d easily take Luka over Simmons..

[@occultsymbols]

ismail adam bro Ben Simmons has more potential but saying that he’s currently much better than Luka makes absolutely no sense. Ben can’t shoot and that’s really an essential part of basketball that he is completely lacking.

Luck runs out lol

[@enkeltrik9330]

Luka is the most exciting thing to happen in the NBA since the 2015-16 season (Steph's ridiculous MVP scoring, 73 wins and a blown 3-1 lead). He is also a huge All-star-snub. Maybe not an All-NBA-first-teamer, but a perfect All Star and fan favorite: historic rookie numbers Euro guy still 19 years old no crazy athleticism tons of game loves the most challenging moments like Kobe did You don't have to like him, but you can't deny that he's a refreshing new thing to have in the league.

[@hyewonlovebot]

T-Mac really wanna help Ben with his shot and i'm all for it.

[@lenextowens6608]

Luka should go to the SPURS he's already in Texas pop would get him a 💍

[@kakarotlifted7302]

Luka Doncic is the next Kobe. Calling it now 2019.

[@TokyoBalletReprise]

He doesn’t play like Kobe, but he has the Mamba mentality and is super clutch like kobe.

[@niktus1]

actually, Luka is right regarding scoring in Europe. The regular season is way more important there and defense is everything. Though real playing in NBA starts during playoffs.

[@timothybrown8424]

Simmons put the 3-pointer on a pedestal.

Trae is decent. But the draft pick isn't going to be as good as they thought it would be.

News flash Draft gets rigged and Dallas get the #1 pick and team Zion with Luka 😂😂😂 Top 5 protected pick

[@rebelredshirt_2188]

Even my grandmother can make a three. A profesional basketball player has no excuse for not having made a three pointer in two years. Simmons is over rated

[@MALW-ic2rh]

He is isn't overrated because we already knew he couldn't shoot. Lonzo was overrated because we thought he could shoot.

[@MALW-ic2rh]

Simmons is a crazy good basketball player, with a big flaw in his game, give him 2 years and he will probably have semi decent shot.

[@ianyoung8392]

I would love to see how T Mac fairs standing next to Simmons....... There won't be a lot of difference in it. But for shooting mechanics I would love to see how big T Mac's hands are compared to Simmons as T Mac's are like an alien

devin booker is laughably overrated. an on/off rating of 0 on a team as bad as the suns lol. talks about winning but is an atrocious defender. and there are people who always somehow think he should be an allstar.

[@cardalien]

yeah he averages the most turnovers in the league. can't make shots. not clutch. no defense. once he got his money, he dont give 2 fucks

[@futuropasado]

overrated is Simmons who made an allstar in the east, and in the west, mitchell, doncic, derozan and booker are better. Devins team is oone of the worse in the league dude.

[@mvpmvp2980]

@@futuropasado the worse your team is, the higher your on/off rating should be. its a comparison between a player and his teammates. playing on a bad team should only make it better, but his still sucks because hes a terrible defender.
