Cavaliers legend Brad Daugherty will attempt to change the franchise’s dubious luck of the last two years in the virtual NBA Draft Lottery Thursday night.
Five-time All-Star Daugherty, picked first overall in 1986 with draft rights acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers, will represent the Cavs during the broadcast, to air live on ESPN at 8:30 p.m.
With a 19-46 record that is second-worst in the league behind the Golden State Warriors (15-50), the Cavs have a 14% chance of winning the No. 1 pick in the Oct. 16 draft, as do the Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves (19-45).
