The NBA Draft is as much of a fashion show as it is an event that will dictate the future of multiple basketball players. Players love getting dressed up for the event, and we noticed a few prevalent trends. One: tons of players wore bow ties rather than standard ties. Two, maroon was a popular color.
Also, nobody stood out more than D’Angelo Russell. The former Buckeyes point guard wore Ohio State colors at the draft and then was taken No. 2 overall by the Lakers. He had red shoes, a red belt, red coat, red bow tie, and even his shirt had a red and white checkered pattern like a tablecloth at an Italian restaurant.
