Friday Afterschool Special: Suited and Booted /

The NBA Draft was lit

It was hard to say what was more exciting about the 2016 NBA draft: the wild speculation, the fake accounts tweeting out "breaking news," or the number of times we had to google how to spell a European player's name.

But the best thing about the draft had to be the fashion, as illustrated here by Kris Dunn and his infamous shout out to JC Penny:

Dunn wasn't the only one stunting at the draft with Caris LeVert, Buddy Hield, and others showing off their unique senses of style on the day they heard their names called. Let's hope their rookie seasons are as good as their sense of style.
