Sacramento Kings general manager Monte McNair will reportedly represent the organization during the NBA draft lottery on Tuesday, according to Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee.
The Kings enter the draft lottery slotted ninth after finishing with a 31-41 record. They have a 4.5% chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick and a 20.3% chance of walking away with a pick inside of the top four heading into the evening.
McNair, who was named general manager last September, will succeed De’Aaron Fox as the team representative in the lottery. Fox served as their spokesperson in 2018 when they were awarded the second overall pick and again last year.

The NBA draft lottery is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. EST.
