There are plenty of brothers and sons of star athletes that don't get drafted or placed on teams. They just don't hit everyone's radar like the ones that do.

You either have the goods or you don't. Kostas was arguably the most gifted athlete in this draft along with Lonnie Walker and Zhaire Smith.

Raw, yes. But he has things you can't "coach up".

Shane Larkin was a legitimate big-time stud in college. The success rate on mid first rounders turning into stars isn't terribly high. Donovan Mitchell is the exception, not the rule. Shane's potential achilles heel was always lack of size, not being over-hyped because of last name.

If the Mavs drafted Kostas because of his last name, I believe it was with an eye on luring Giannis in free agency down the road. And that would only make sense if they thought Kostas could be on the team at that time.
