The NBA Draft Lottery aired on ESPN last night.
Eagerly anticipated by fans around the country – due to the wealth of talent that will be available during the actual NBA Draft on June 26 – the Cleveland Cavaliers ended up with the top overall pick for the second straight year.
But Milwaukee Bucks fans couldn’t have felt like losers after only winning the second selection… because they have Mallory Edens on their side!
The 18-year old daughter of new team owner Wesley Edens represented Milwaukee at the proceedings, causing many viewers’ jaws to drop as she discussed her lucky pins and smiled her gorgeous smile.
Prior to the Draft Lottery, Edens had 249 followers.
Within a half hour, Mallory Edens was Trending and she had gained over 18,000 new followers.
“It was kind of our first official day, and it’s a dream come true,” Wesley Edens said following the event. “We’re very excited to be here, and to be here with my family and our friends is really special. We’re happy with the outcome. We could have been number one, but number two is pretty good.”
Don’t worry, Wes. Your daughter is number-one on the Internet at least.
Perhaps you should offer Mallory to the Cavs for the top pick? They’d have to at least think about it…
