By Sam Richmond
The flashy suit Andrew Wiggins wore on Thursday during the NBA Draft was quite the attention grabber. Naturally, Twitter was full of hilarious jokes about the outfit on draft night, with even comedian Steve Martin making an excellent “Three Amigos” quip.
But we may have a new winner for the best joke made about Wiggins’ crazy suit.

Former NBA coach Mike Dunleavy posted an outstanding tweet on Saturday, comparing Wiggins’ fashion to that of Dunleavy’s mother.
However, the suit heard ’round the world might not be in Wiggins’ possession much longer. TMZ Sports reported on Friday that Wiggins may donate the suit to charity.
"It’s the suit you can only wear once … and Andrew Wiggins know it — because we’re told the #1 pick in the NBA Draft could be donating the famous threads he wore last night for charity. The suit was all the rage at the Draft at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn on Thursday — with ESPN correspondent Jay Williams so impressed, he stole a line from “Coming to America” when talking to Wiggins … “What is that, velvet?”Now, after hearing rumblings that Wiggins could be auctioning off the outfit to the highest bidder to benefit a charity — a rep for the Cleveland Cavs player tells TMZ Sports, “It could happen.”"
Regardless, with Wiggins getting selected No. 1 in the draft and on the verge of signing a very lucrative contract, he certainly will get the last laugh in all of this.
Wiggins averaged 17.9 points and 6.0 rebounds per game during his only season at Kansas.
