Ewing to serve as Knicks' rep at draft lottery
Thirty-four years since New York Knicks great Dave DeBusschere pumped his fist on a podium after landing the No. 1 pick to select future Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing, Ewing will now represent the franchise at the NBA draft lottery next month for a chance to draft Duke phenom Zion Williamson, the team announced Saturday.
"Patrick is a huge part of our team's history and we're thrilled to have number 33 represent the franchise at this year's draft lottery," said Knicks president Steve Mills. "Patrick's connection to the lottery is well documented, and we're proud to have one of the all-time Knicks greats sit on the dais on behalf of the team, the city and the fans."
