A lot of Utah Jazz fans have been wondering who will represent the Jazz on lottery night, and today, they announced that it would be Ashley Smith, Co-Owner of the Utah Jazz.
We’re about to find out how lucky Smith is. If the Jazz win this lottery, Ashley Smith is officially the Jazz’s lucky charm and must attend the lottery again next season if the Jazz are there again. If not, she will join a long line of attendees who had to hide their disappointment on TV.
It’s a massive lottery for the Jazz, who did an incredible job of positioning themselves in the best possible position in the lottery. Even if the Jazz lose the lottery, that will count as the 5th best pick in franchise history, tying when the Jazz drafted Dante Exum at #5 in 2014. It’s a remarkable stat for a team that has consistently avoided the top of the draft in its history. Let’s hope Ashley Smith is the lucky charm the Jazz have been looking for!
