Sacramento Kings Passed On Luka Doncic Because Vlade Divac Didn’t Like His Dad

Wait, the third pick? Yes, Doncic was selected behind two other players, DeAndre Ayton, and Marvin Bagley.

Ayton was undoubtedly going as the first pick to the Phoenix Suns, but the reason the Sacramento Kings passed on Doncic is quite interesting.

Doncic was named the Euroleague MVP at only 19 years old, and many question why Vlade Divac, the general manager for the Kings — who is connected to many Euroleague hoopers — passed on such a tremendous talent.
