Vlade Divac says he passed on drafting Luka DonÄiÄ because he already had a point guard, didnāt want to play him at small forward, and didnāt want a big-name player like Luka in a small market.
āAll of my assistants toldĀ me that he can play small forward, and I said no, no, Luka isĀ a point guard. Luka is a coach onĀ the floor. And I felt that if I get Luka, I would have to trade DeāAaron Fox,Ā and I already got a relationship with Fox, and I see heās a perfect fitĀ for us, a small market team, and Luka was a big market player.ā
