Don Nelson once said of the NBA Draft Lottery: "If you don't get lucky, you just sit there like a big dork."

Spicing things up in the last few years, however, team representatives have included owners' children, like the Cleveland Cavaliers' Nick Gilbert, and Milwaukee Bucks' Mallory Edens (who picked up 10,000 Twitter followers in her half hour or so on the dais).

Well, the fun is only five days away with the lottery set to take place on May 19.

With the Cavaliers and Bucks making the playoffs this season, there will be no Gilberts or Edens. In fact, this year's lineup is a comparatively staid group of representatives, albeit including all-time greats like Larry Bird and Alonzo Mourning.

One notable exception is Russell Westbrook representing the Oklahoma City Thunder. Pay attention to his attire.
