Mallory Edens Disappointed By The 2026 NBA Draft Lottery Results
Mallory Edens was the representative for the Milwaukee Bucks at the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery. Unlike the last time she represented her dad’s team – which came in 2014 – things didn’t go very well this year.
The Bucks did not jump up in the 2026 NBA Draft. They will be picking No. 10 overall this June. It’s a disappointing result.

Edens spoke out following the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery, admitting that it was an unfortunate result. However, she said that you don’t always get what you want. The Bucks surged up to the No. 2 pick back in 2014. This year, they didn’t have the same luck.
It’s balance.
Edens, who quickly went viral on social media back in 2014, went viral on social media again in 2026.
The Princeton graduate admitted that the last time this happened, it was actually pretty hard on her.

Edens was disappointed by reaction to her in 2014
Edens spoke out on the “Unlike Me” podcast.
“I actually think people actually don’t know that much about me and I think that the biggest misconception — is just that they don’t know that much about me,” Edens said. “I went really viral on the internet at a really young age and it put me in this place where I felt so protective of myself because the things people were saying online about me at that time felt so harmful.

“And I don’t know that I’ve ever if really left that protective casing. So, I think the misconception is just I don’t think people know me that well online.”
The Bucks will look to get a top-caliber player in June, perhaps with some input from Edens.
