During his playing days, Kings general manager Vlade Divac was frequently ridiculed for flopping, but he was also known as a deceptively skilled big man who had a remarkable ability to pass with magnificent vision and marvelous touch.
Now, with his team defying all expectations, it seems that same vision and touch just might come to define his work as a front office executive.
In June, after Sacramento made a highly debated decision to draft Marvin Bagley III over Luka Doncic, pundits pointed and laughed at Divac’s response when he was asked how the Kings could compete with the NBA’s super teams.
