on september 22, beijing time, retired sacramento star and former general manager vlade divac recalled the 2018 draft in an interview and explained why he used the second pick to select marvin bagley iii instead of luka doncic.

divac said: "at the guard position, i already have fox, who we selected a year ago. at that time, i believed that fox was a player who could become a superstar in the next few years. however, from the current situation, it seems that i was wrong, but i still have confidence in fox's career."

"i could have chosen luka, but then i would have had to trade fox. interestingly, the suns (selected ayton with the no. 1 pick) didn't choose luka either, and the hawks traded him away after selecting luka (in exchange for trae young), and eventually the mavericks got him. i like watching luka's games, and i really like his style of basketball. i made this decision for my own reasons, and maybe i made a mistake, but time will tell." divac continued to add.
