Phil Jackson’s “surprise’’ pick to sit on the dais for Tuesday’s lottery is Knicks legend/MSG Network broadcaster/former Jackson roommate Walt Frazier, the NBA announced Tuesday.
Jackson said Friday at the Draft Combine he wouldn’t do it, but had a “surprise” in store. Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek also said at the combine he wouldn’t attend the lottery, but would be clinging to some good-luck charms.
Knicks GM Steve Mills, wearing former GM Dave DeBusschere’s Hall of Fame ring for luck, sat on the dais two years ago as the second seed, and the club fell to No.
