Los Angeles Clippers aren’t the only team who have a hard time guarding the two-time All-Star. Doncic’s unique gameplay, enables him to torch any team, dropping an insane amount of points on any team. Even the toughest of tough defenders have a pretty hard time guarding the wrath of Luka.

Even DPOY candidate, Draymond Green has highly spoken off Luka and at his own comfortable pace, he plays the game with. After dropping 42 points, 14 assists, and 8 rebounds in a Game 5 win against LAC, Draymond revealed what it was like to face Doncic. On his appearance on “NBA on TNT” show, Green revealed:

“You’re facing a guy who is in total control at a game. I think the most incredible thing about Luka is, the pace at which he plays, you cannot speed him up. He’s gonna get the shot that he wants. He’s gonna get all his guys involved and that’s the challenge. So he’s getting switched and the Clippers are falling to these switches and he’s just getting to his spot. That’s been the story of this series.”
