Ranking the Top 10 NBA Draft Night Suits
Whether you appreciate the simplicity of a well-structured suit or like a little boldness with your fashion, the NBA draft has a little bit of everything.
The draft has always been one of the most interesting—or one of the most notorious—days for fit-watching in the most fashion-forward sports league of them all.
We reflected on that now-iconic all-white oversized debut from LeBron James and the unforgettable red ensemble from Jalen Rose along with the best draft suits in years past. Still, fashion and personal style keep developing in the NBA.
As we usher in the 2024 draft class, let's rank some of the night's best looks and figure out who we need to keep an eye on in future pregame hallways. Wednesday night saw some all-time fits across the board, with chic tailoring as an overall highlight.
Let's dive in and get to know who we'll be watching for on LeagueFits next season.
10. Kyshawn George, Washington Wizards
1 of 10
The early-to-mid 2000s are back in a big way, and I appreciate former Miami forward Kyshawn George's take on the trend cycle. This is a super fun look, and guess what, folks, that's allowed.
I love a look that doesn't take itself too seriously but clearly takes thought, and I surprisingly like the untucked blue undershirt for this reason.
Again, we see unique and detailed tailoring, this time bootcut, that really brings you back to that early 2000s vibe. The sneakers, again, are fun. As is the chain.
9. Stephon Castle, San Antonio Spurs
2 of 10
The chain is a Castle. Do you get it?
In all seriousness, we're here for self-expression, and it's always fun to see how the players execute personal details like this. Now we kind of wish our last name was also Castle.
We will all remember the former UConn shooting guard's name now regardless.
Perhaps he and NBA Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama will trade fashion tips in San Antonio. C'est Magnifique!
8. Tristan da Silva, Orlando Magic
3 of 10
Former Colorado forward Tristan da Silva nails the unique-to-elegant-to-classic ratio here like no other. There are almost no notes. Fashion is subjective, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a person who doesn't like this suit.
It's colorful, it stands out and it has special personal meaning to him.
Special shout-out for the representation of his background—the Colorado logo, the Brazilian flag and other cultural markers.
7. Ron Holland II, Detroit Pistons
4 of 10
Ron Holland II definitely takes home the "most dripped out" award of the evening.
Now THAT is a chain. Now THAT is a suit. Now THOSE are some glasses. If you're going for this look, you gotta go all in. He did, and it works. No notes here.
6. Alex Sarr, Washington Wizards
5 of 10
No. 2 pick Alex Sarr looks fantastic in this double-breasted tan suit. He said in an NBA Instagram video that there's a personal touch, too. He had "Moma" embroidered on the inside of the suit as a nod to his parents and brother for all of the support that got him here.
He also said he wanted to look back 20 years from now and still think the suit looked good, so he really nailed it with this one. It's interesting and has unique features with the buttons, but it still has that timeless vibe and tailoring. Adore the look of the undershirt poking out, too.
5. Devin Carter, Sacramento Kings
6 of 10
We tend to favor the bold here at Bleacher Report's style rankings, so naturally this no-undershirt, double-breasted, powder blue moment from former Providence guard Devin Carter is an instant big hit.
The juxtaposition of the extremely formal suit jacket and the casual "no undershirt, no problem" is a unique spin on a classic. The pink-hued sunglasses with gorgeous accents really top it off.
He's oozing confidence and he pulls it all off. I like that the shoes aren't over the top so we can focus on everything going on in the top half of the look.
4. Isaiah Collier, Utah Jazz
7 of 10
Former USC guard Isaiah Collier had one of my favorite looks of the night, with an outfit that commands your attention without ever having to scream for it.
All black is timeless and allows for some creative liberties with tailoring and design. That's exactly what makes the look feel so fresh but so elegant and familiar at the same time.
The two-toned front of the jacket is pleasing to look at, the shoes are awesome, and the pants are tailored to absolute perfection. The accessories are simple yet interesting, and no one part of the outfit takes over. Perfect balance.
3. DaRon Holmes II, Denver Nuggets
8 of 10
Former Dayton center DaRon Holmes II had one of the classiest, most formal looks of the night, but he still managed to put an interesting spin on it.
What an absolutely stunning color, with equally stunning detailing on the suit jacket to match.
Sometimes it's the little things that really stand out, and I particularly enjoy the black outline crossing over with the suit's button. Notice how that gives the outfit shape and frames the silhouette.
2. Jared McCain, Philadelphia 76ers
9 of 10
We expected Duke star Jared McCain to have some draft drip, and he did not disappoint.
Cropped suit jackets are all the rage on the actual runways right now, but they can be harder to translate in real life. If they aren't tailored flawlessly, it's easy to look like a mess.
Fortunately, McCain's tailor nailed it here. There's something about a charcoal black that just gets me every time, too.
Overall, the fit is classy and contemporary, the platform shoes enhance the cut of the pants in a good way, and the jewelry is elegant. Of course, the nails were black and glossed to perfection to top it all off.
1. Yves Missi, New Orleans Pelicans
10 of 10
You can't be named Yves and let us down on the fashion front. Fortunately, former Baylor center Yves Missi had one of the best looks of the night.
The jewelry is gorgeous and equal parts eye-catching but understated. It matches the breast pocket to really round out the outfit. Also love the combination of blue and brown, and the lion on the inside is both fun and classy.
