Dalton Knecht
Dalton Knecht probably had no idea he would have to wait as long as he did to show off his chain and sweet-looking suit at the draft podium, but it may have worked out for the best. While it wasn't until the 17th pick that Knecht came off the board, does the black suit, dark shades, and "DK" medallion not scream LA? The Lakers will find out if the Tennessee product can bring that red carpet "Showtime" to the court.

Zaccharie Risacher
Not only did France's Zaccharie Risacher go first overall to the Hawks, but he brought his Hotlanta swag with him. The highly touted prospect should have no problem fitting in on the court or in Atlanta's vibrant nightlife scene.

Kel'el Ware
Kel'el Ware, decked out in a stylish black suit. also had his accessory game on. As you can see, Ware's watch, neck, and wrist chains all complement the look. The newest member of the Miami Heat is also wearing a medallion, a widespread trend on the NBA Draft's red carpet this year.
Ron Holland
See what I mean by the medallion trend? Ron Holland put his on full display before being selected with the fifth overall pick by the Detroit Pistons.

Tristan da Silva
Before he was selected by the Orlando Magic at 18, Tristan da Silva paid homage to his former team and ethnic roots. The former Colorado standout had his former school repped with the Buffaloes logo, along with a cap tip to his German-Brazilian heritage in the lining of his suit.
Dapper da Silva
The outside of the red and black suit was pretty sharp as well.
Donovan Clingan
Standing over seven feet, Donovan Clingan sure would be the biggest James Bond ever. The former UConn star channeled his inner 007 before being selected seventh overall by the Portland Trail Blazers.

Kyshawn George
While he may look like he is dressed for Miami, Kyshawn George will bring his talents to the Nation's Capital and not South Beach. Before being selected by the Knicks on behalf of the Washington Wizards, George had styles for miles on the NBA's red carpet.
King of the Castle
While Ja'Kobe Walter's medallion may have taken the prize for blingiest, this one takes "most on brand."
Stephon Castle
Not only does Stephon Castle's medallion match his name (spoiler alert: it's a castle), but it also perfectly complements his very stylish suit. It also kind of matches his new team colors - the San Antonio Spurs, who chose Castle with the fourth overall pick.
Devin Carter
It takes a confident man to pull off the powder blue, double-breasted suit jacket with no shirt underneath and Devin Carter is that man. While Sacramento may not have the fashion district the Lakers have in LA, Carter looks like he's bringing plenty of his own to northern California after being drafted by the Kings.
Final Medallion
If you have had your fill of chains, you are in luck. This last one combines the type of bling from JaKobe Walter and the brand awareness Stephon Castle brought to his look.
