On this podcast a Mavs staffer (Mike Procopio) says, "I have only seen two Donnie all in on two players: Giannis and Luka." Says that Donnie was completely sold that both Giannis and Luka were hands down the best player in their respective drafts.
So that settles it:
Luka was #1 on Donnie's board (NOT Ayton).
Giannis was #1 on Donnie's board and Cuban screwed it up by not listening. (They even mentioned that Cuban listened to Donnie on Luka because of how he had not listened to Donnie on Giannis.)
P.S. The trade with ATL to get Luka was taken off the table a couple times by ATL and almost didn't happen.
P.P.S. Vlade didn't draft Luka because he was blinded by not liking Luka's dad and thought Luka wouldn't fall far from the tree so to speak.
