NBA draftees are getting too smart. It used to be that the annual event’s parade of outrageous outfits would provide Twitter comedians with fodder for days: it seemed there was no group of people in the world more hellbent on standing out at all costs, and often with catastrophic results. However, the tide seems to be turning. Plenty of last night’s hoopers looked great, and if they didn’t look great, they simply looked nice. We saw a healthy dose of double-breasted suits, monochromatic suits in muted colors, possibly too much all-black, and an undying commitment to the pendant. Congratulations to these new NBA players: getting drafted is hard, but doing it while looking good has proven over the years to be even more difficult.
