Mallory Edens, daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens, is once again representing the team at the NBA Draft Lottery. As the NBA announced each team’s representative, Edens took to X to respond to the news that she would be repping the Bucks, despite the team quite literally facing impossible odds to land the No. 1 pick.
The Atlanta Hawks will receive the better selection between the Bucks and New Orleans Pelicans, which means that the No. 1 pick would head to the ATL in the small chance Milwaukee gets lucky.
Edens responded on X to the NBA’s announcement with an emoji featuring a smiley face covering their mouth. She appears to be excited to once again be representing the Bucks ahead of the NBA draft.
The Bucks representative is no stranger to social media as Edens has 200,000 followers on her popular Instagram account.
