Fashion Round Up - NBA Draft

My detailed thoughts are permanently entrenched at Dan Shanoff's site, but I'd thought I'd review the highlights at home base.

Nobody really looked bad except for...



Joakim Noah was a hot ass mess. Actually, this outfit didn't start off as bad. But by the end of the night, his hair was more poufy than afro. His suit was wrinkled. Joakim is an embarrassment to seersucker. I wish you could see the shoes. They make the clown look complete. With that goofy smile, all he needs is a red nose. And I liked this outfit for about 10 minutes!

Here are the obligatory top two picks. Durant nods to his alma mater colors. Oden does not.



This Italian dude, Marco something or other, smacked his girl on the ass before he went on stage. Is he setting the new standard for NBA cockiness? And he's wearing a vest, which I did not notice during the live blog. 3 piece suits are a good thing.



Acie Law sports paisley and pinstripes. And so did a lot of other draftees.



Pour a little liquor out for him. He's a Hawk now.

Jeff Green won the pre-game handicap and he looks good in the Burberry tie with the black suit. He didn't live up to his hype although he's still a fashion all star.



Michael Conley had a lot going on with his outfit. A lot of patterns. The tie is too big. But at least the pastels mute the effect. There was a nice attempt here, but it didn't work the way it was supposed to.


Brandan Wright was one of my favorites. I'm a sucker for vests, I guess.



Al Horford was the George Clooney of the draft. The white satin tie on black is tremendous.



Oh, God. The sight of a hottie like Al near a Hawks jersey makes me want to cry... (Oh and btw, I'm not a fan of the redesign. The red and gold jerseys were all we had going for us. Wearing navy has no correlation to making the playoffs.)

It takes more than hottie appeal to be the best dressed. I'm crowning his ass, "Mr. Wipe Me Down 2007" - Nick Young. The white on black was an original choice. The suit fit like a glove. And he had the confidence to rock a sportcoat. Gilbert is gonna love this guy.
