Mallory Edens to Represent Bucks at 2026 NBA Draft Lottery

A favorable draw could reshape Milwaukee’s plans around Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Overview

  • The Bucks selected Mallory Edens as their on-stage representative for the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago.
  • Milwaukee enters the drawing with just under a 14% chance at a top-four pick and about a 3% chance at No. 1.
  • This is the team’s first lottery appearance since 2016, and a high pick could influence roster decisions built around their star forward.
  • Edens, 30, is the daughter of co-owner Wes Edens, studied at Princeton, and founded the Los Angeles media firm Little Ray Media.
  • She first drew wide attention as the Bucks’ 2014 lottery rep when Milwaukee landed the No. 2 pick used on Jabari Parker, and she has since said the online reaction at 18 felt harmful.
