The 2020 NBA Draft begins at 8:00 p.m. EST this evening and is poised to be one of the most chaotic drafts in recent history. Due to COVID-19 precautions, like the NFL in April, the entire draft will be held virtually after a difficult and unique talent evaluation process. With the decision to move away from an in-person event, one of the most exciting portions of the evening is on a year-long hiatus and players will not be able to sport their flashiest outfits as they take the stage to shake Adam Silver’s hand.
In absence of the fashion-forward first round, let’s take a look at the 10 best and worst outfits from NBA Drafts past.
