Future Hall of Famer and former Detroit Pistons legend Ben Wallace will reportedly represent the organization during the NBA draft lottery on Tuesday, according to James Edwards III of The Athletic.
Wallace, who will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame next year, played nine seasons with the Pistons in two stints. Among his accomplishments, Wallace was a four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and helped the Pistons win the championship in 2004.
The Pistons enter the draft lottery as one of three teams with the highest odds of landing the No. 1 overall pick — a 14% chance — after finishing with the second-worst record in the NBA. The Pistons have not had a No. 1 overall pick since Bob Lanier in 1970.

Certainly, the Pistons hope that having one of their all-time best players represent them will bring good luck. The team showed great promise this season, with the arrival of four rookies, and adding another high pick will help the team build toward the future.
