Hip Hop Mogul Jay Z will represent the New Jersey Nets in the NBA Lottery tonight. Perhaps, Jay Z fresh off a lucrative $150 million deal will provide the Nets with a bit of luck.
If we are to go by the odds, the Nets will be given the 10th pick of the draft. The chances for them to brush some dirt off their shoulder and be awarded the top selction of the draft is at 1.1 percent (11 OF THE 1,000 Ping Pong balls have the Nets logo on it).
If Jay Z's success can translate to the Nets getting one of the top two picks the prize would be point guard Derrick Rose of Memphis or forward Michael Beasley of Kansas State. Both players would also be a great asset to have on the chess board come draft night in the trading blocks game.
The Nets have won the lottery twice in 1990, when they picked Derrick Coleman, and in 2000, when they selected Kenyon Martin.
