Sorry Flea, the position for draft lottery representative has been filled. 

The Los Angeles Lakers have chosen head coach Byron Scott to represent the team at the 2015 NBA Draft Lottery. 

Scott had a rough first year at the helm of the Lakers. The injury-plagued team finished with the NBA's fourth-worst record at 21-61, giving them the fourth-best chance to draw a top-three selection.   

There is sure to be a lot of nail-biting at the event. The Lakers have roughly a 17-percent chance of falling outside of the top five, which would send their pick to the Philadelphia 76ers, who picked it up from the Phoenix Suns.
