Lonnie Walker took a draft photo for the ages after being selected in the first round of Thursday’s NBA Draft.
Walker, a shooting guard from the University of Miami, was taken No. 18 overall by the San Antonio Spurs. After the announcement was made by Adam Silver, Walker went up to the stage and posed for a photo with with the commissioner. Because of his hairstyle, the hat Walker had put on appeared to be levitating above his head.

It almost looked like a magic trick. That was our favorite draft photo since the one taken by Baker Mayfield.
In his lone season at Miami, Walker averaged 11.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 32 games. But now that he’s a Spur, he’ll probably become an All-Star.
