Best and worst fashion looks at the 2019 NBA Draft image

The 2019 NBA Draft concluded Thursday night, and the NBA's newest stars now know where their professional journeys will begin.

But what's nearly as important as the team that traded up to pick you? Your NBA Draft night outfit.

NBA DRAFT WINNERS & LOSERS:
Pelicans, Grizzlies build bright futures; Suns, Wizards reach

The photos from one of the most important nights in these players' careers will be around for decades. Just ask LeBron...

So with that in mind, let's take a look at some of the runway risks and safe outfit choices made on draft night.

SN's best and worst NBA Draft 'fits: 

Fashion 1

BEST: Nickeil Alexander-Walker — No. 17 pick by the New Orleans Pelicans. Snakeskin print with a bolo tie? Big swing and home run.

BEST: Bol Bol — No. 44 pick by the Denver Nuggets. If Spider-Man went formal, he'd ask for this suit jacket.

BEST: Tyler Herro — No. 13 pick by the Miami Heat. Colors: muted. Print: loud. Us: impressed. He said it himself.

Fashion 2

BEST: RJ Barrett — No. 3 pick by the New York Knicks. If you saw this look on Easter Sunday, you'd say, "Look at that nice young man." 

BEST: Darius Garland — No. 5 pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The most unique look of the night. Gotta love a risk taker!

BEST: Kevin Porter Jr. — No. 30 pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers. A velour emerald jacket? Unbeatable.

Fashion 3

WORST: Ja Morant — No. 2 pick by the Memphis Grizzlies. Matching pinstripe jacket, pants AND shirt is an outfit my grandfather has also worn. 

WORST: Sekou Doumbouya — No. 15 pick by the Detroit Pistons. That jacket is a choice, but a different one could have been made.

WORST: Keldon Johnson — No. 29 pick by the San Antonio Spurs. A jacket so wild, he didn't even wear it on stage. 

Fashion 4

WORST: Romeo Langford — No. 14 pick by the Boston Celtics. It's very shiny...

WORST: Jaxson Hayes — No. 8 pick by the New Orleans Pelicans. The suit could have been bolder. The Sideshow Bob chain is too bold. 

WORST: Zion Williamson — No. 1 pick by the New Orleans Pelicans. Sir, everyone knew you'd be the No. 1 pick. And you went safe. Way too safe. But that watch, though...
