Casson Wallace
Former Kentucky guard paid homage to his hometown neighborhood, Hamilton Park, Texas. The player’s draft day suit was a black and red suit while giving a shoutout to his hometown with the word “HPT” scattered all over in red ink. Just like Taylor, the jacket’s inner lining featured family photos.
Gradey Dick
The Kansas native gave a nod to his home state with a ruby red-sequined jacket and a turtleneck, with black pants and shoes while accessorizing with ruby red bottoms. He then went ahead with a medallion chain . All inspired by Dorothy from the classic, “Wizard Of Oz”.
Jett Howard
The younger Howard opted for a caramel brown suit with peak lapels and checkered prints. Underneath the jacket, he wore a crisp white dress shirt and a complimentary tie. To add a splash of personality to his outfit, he choose to accessorize with buckled brogues, a white pocket square and fade frames.
