Jasikevicius: Doncic reads the game "abnormally" for his age. He sees things that can't be learned
Jasikevicius: hese guys from college have no idea of what they are talking about and what Luka can do
Zalgiris Kaunas head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius praised Luka Doncic in an interview with RTV Slo.
Petrovic and Doncic. Drazen and Luka can be compared in some way. Doncic is taller, Drazen was a best shooter. They are from different periods but they have both qualities and they are talented. Both can make baskets and dish assists. It will be interesting to see how Doncic’s career will evolve in the NBA
Doncic's qualities. Luka has everything to become a great player. There is no doubt, but there are also a lot of players that had everything but they did not succeed. What distinguishes him from the other players is that he reads the game “abnormally” for his age. He sees things that cannot be learned or that also a 30-year old player can’t do. For for him it is all natural.
Doncic compared to guys that came out of college and selected in the draft. It is impossible for anyone else to do the same things that Luka did in the EuroLeague. Of course, he was helped by his three previous years at high levels. It was something not new to him, he was accustomed to it, but there is no way for these guys (coming out from college) to do what he did. It is not possible. I played college, I played in EuroLeague, I played everywhere and I know that EuroLeague is a great competition, very demanding, and what he did in such a great club, at his age, is amazing. He was not playing for a small team where he got all the possessions. He played in a system, in an extraordinary strong team and he led them to the victory. These guys from college have no idea of what they are talking about and what Luka can do.
