So someone will be given the public stigma of being chosen last on national TV? What could possibly go wrong there?

Nothing will go wrong. I'm not aware of anybody caring/making a big deal about Bradley Beal and him being the last player picked (not counting the special additions of Wade and Nowitzki) in the 2019 NBA All-Star Draft.
