Lol I used to check their sub during that draft. Majority wanted Luka. What a major blow. They can take some solace in the fact that the sun’s and hawks whiffed badly too. Especially the sun’s with how they lost to Luka in the worst way possible

I’ll still never get how 3 teams passed on Luka.
As a teenager this guy was playing really well against professional grown men in the second best basketball league in the world – his competition far exceeded that of even the best D1 conference. He was like the best player in all of Europe at 19.

First time I’m seeing this. Pleasantly surprised to see Rudy Gay guy energy in this.

Gotta be up there for biggest draft blunders of all time right? Kings fumbled at the 1 yard line

For the record I don’t remember being 100pc sold on Luka. There were a lot of experts swearing by Luka, and I did think Luka, but there was enough doubt in my mind and with some tv talking heads to make me doubt. For some reason I hate the idea that everyone thinks it was 100% obvious phx/sac/atl were fucking up when it was only 80% obvious at the time.

I was there. It was sad but there was hope. Now hope is gone.

Owners should be made to sell the team for this planet-sized gaff.

I think the guy that threw up on the court was in the middle of a flashback to this moment.

Some of Luka’s international accolades before getting drafted:
– 1x EuroLeague Champ – 1x EuroLeague MVP – 1x All-EuroLeague first team – 3x ACB champion – 1x ACB MVP – 1x ACB first team
This guy not going first was beyond stupid

One of the rare times that most everyone knew a draft pick was a disaster *as it was happening*.
