Cleveland didn't stand much of a chance. Then again, it usually doesn't. The odds of the Cavaliers drawing the first pick in the draft lottery were 1.7% - or slightly higher than LeBron rejoining them. The city that staunchly supports the Browns, but not so much Mike Brown, won the number one overall selection for the third time in four years. Truthfully, it's the best three-peat the club could hope for after LeBron left.
Last season, they squandered it on Anthony Bennett, who fellow canuck Justin Bieber would be justified in chucking eggs at*. Akin to another Toronton, Rob Ford, Bennett wasn't all he was cracked up to be (it's baby steps for the latter, 12-steps for the former). The ball bounces their way, they just have to wait until their season is over for it to happen.
If Lady Luck wasn't smiling on the Cavs last night, then it was the gorgeous grin of Mallory Edens, the teenage daughter^ of the incoming Bucks owner, who gained over 19,000 Twitter followers after her appearance (they may have found the face of the franchise prior to picking a player). If only Milwaukee - who had a 25% probability, yet slid to second - could attract that many season-ticket buyers.
