Campazzo: “They say guys don’t play defense here, but actually they defend a lot”

In an interview with the Spanish newspaper Marca, Facundo Campazzo explained his point of view about the famous comments that Luka Doncic made during his rookie year, when he said it’s easier to score in the NBA than in Europe.

“I understand that Luka said this because he has incredible talent, but I have to go through hell, I even need to pray sometimes,” Campazzo joked. “You have more spacing because of the defensive three seconds, but you also have a lot more athletic players who can close out and reach you in half a second, you should take that into account. People say there’s no defense here, but actually players defend a lot.”
