What do you do for an encore? For the Detroit Pistons it’s all about going back to work. Or more specifically, the Going to Work era, as the team announced Rip Hamilton will represent Detroit at Tuesday’s NBA Draft Lottery. The NBA Draft lottery will be held at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday and air on ESPN.
Last year, the Pistons representative was Hamilton’s teammate Ben Wallace. The recently minted Hall of Famer rewarded Detroit (if you believe in the basketball karma) with its first No. 1 overall draft pick in 50 years.
They used that pick on Cade Cunningham, and the guard hailing from Oklahoma State did not disappoint in his first season.
