Suns 5-On-5: Preparing For The NBA Draft Lottery
5. What lucky charm will you have on your person to give the Suns good luck for the NBA Draft Lottery?
Bourguet: Every Phoenix Suns jersey I own and a few Shock Tops (for their orange can). The bitter irony of that, though, is that half of those players (Charles Barkley, Grant Hill, Jason Kidd) are players that the Suns didn’t even draft. Oh well. If and when the Suns don’t move up, that’s what the Shock Tops are for.
Hann: Hmm, let’s see…my orange Steve Nash jersey, some hair gel and an orange headband. Random, but hopefully effective. Wow, just realized I described the outfit of a Jersey Shore guido headed off to a pick-up game at the park.
Chasen: I typically don’t watch with any lucky charms, but because of this question, I might just reconsider. I might put on my Shaquille O’Neal Suns jersey for the lottery, which I’ll be watching with some friends. After all, Shaq was selected first overall in 1992. Maybe that connection to the No. 1 overall pick is just what the Suns need! (Spoiler alert: it isn’t.)
Saar: I’m just going to be praying Phoenix gets a top-three berth and that the Suns’ own Greg Esposito is a lucky charm in NYC for the lottery. The Suns sure need it.
Harris: My headphones. I don’t believe in lucky charms, but if I can find my headphones it’s a good day.
