Evan Fournier: “Is it easier to score in Europe than in the NBA? Here’s why some players say so”
Evan Fournier on why some players think it is easier to score in the NBA than in Europe.
Evan Fournier is the latest big market coup for Olympiacos: The Frenchman has decided to leave the NBA and land in Greece, where he will make his EuroLeague debut next season. The player explained why some players say that scoring in Europe is easier than making a basket in the NBA. These are his comments as reported by Eurohoops.
Fournier’s words: “In the NBA, there are better defenders on the ball, players who can chase you faster on the perimeter. But if you can beat your defender, it is easier to make a basket in the NBA than in Europe. This is why players like Luka Doncic say it is easier to score in the NBA: he beats his man every play. In Europe, if you beat your man, you have a second and third defender right there to help”.
