The NBA Draft isn't just about who's going where... it's also about who's wearing what. USA TODAY

Fashion — whether you like it or not — is a big part of draft night.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, and for many players, it serves as an introduction to the casual pro hoops fan. 

It's also a night during which players make it a priority to make a statement, for better or worse.

On one side, there have been guys like Jalen Rose and Samaki Walker, whose draft-night suits continue to live in infamy two decades later. On the other, there have been guys like Andrew Wiggins and Noah Vonleh, whose ensembles could have missed the mark, but didn't. 

A photo gallery of the best (and the worst) suits from Thursday night's draft is below.
