Early predictions had Luka Doncic as the favorite draft pick for the Sacramento Kings, but Vlade Divac focused in on Marvin Bagley III as he came in for a pre-draft workout. There was no doubt left from that point on. Bagley was selected with the second pick over Doncic with 100% certainty. Let us look at why Doncic could have been an easy choice for Divac.
The biggest hole to fill on the Kings’ roster is the small forward spot. Doncic is a small forward who can play both guard positions as well. Playing professionally in Europe since the age of 16, Doncic has experience against much professional competition.
