Spurs Sports & Entertainment president Peter J. Holt will represent San Antonio at the 2020 NBA Draft lottery on Thursday night, according to a report by RJ Marquez of KSAT 12. Spurs are entering the lottery system for the first time since 1997 after their 22-year playoff series ended this season.
Peter M. Holt, father of the aforementioned Holt, represented the Silver and Black in 1997, when they won the lottery. And as Spurs fans know, PATFO will eventually select future Hall-of-Famer Tim Duncan with the first overall pick and win five titles from 1999-2014 with Big Fundamental at the forefront.
Even though San Antonio only has a 2% chance of getting first pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers had identical odds a year ago and still grabbed the fourth pick, which would ultimately help make them the superstar. All-NBA Anthony Davis. Crazier things have happened, so tune in for the lottery and light the Spurs candles for good luck.
