The NBA revealed the names of the representatives of the 13 franchises who will participate in the “lottery” Sunday evening, at 10 p.m. Like every year, these are lucky charms to try to win the jackpot, and the right to select first in the 2024 Draft.
Among the 13 representatives, there will be a Frenchman, and it is Bilal Coulibaly who will represent the Wizards. He won't be the only rookie since the Hornets brought Brandon Miller, while the Pistons opted for Ausar Thompson. Same idea for the Warriors with Brandin Podziemski and the Blazers with Scoot Henderson.
For Memphis, it will be Tayshaun Prince, vice president of the franchise.
