10 Best NBA Draft fashion decisions of last decade
By Jaylyn Cook
3. Terrence Williams (2009)
Shining and shimmering in a splendid suit, Terrence Williams started his NBA career on the right foot in gray and black. The rest of his time in the Association was not as productive, but it doesn’t deny him his well-deserved spot in our hallowed top-10 list.
The past five-or-so years in Draft fashion have featured one or two players who decided to step outside of the box when it comes to their look and make a lasting first impression. In 2009, that player was Williams; He was bold, while everyone else played it safe by wearing solid, neutral colors.
That doesn’t mean that gray and black aren’t common color choices, but what really set Williams apart was the slick, dull glow of his jacket and slacks. It was almost futuristic, as if he hopped into a DeLorean, traveled to the future, and met with a tailor. If that were possible, maybe he could have picked up a sports almanac or read his Wikipedia page to find out how his career eventually would turn out.
It would definitely motivate him to work on his jumper, and well, just about every other aspect of his game to keep him in the league today. Unfortunately, until we make a breakthrough with Flux Capacitor technology, Williams will just have to take it easy until a team decides to take a chance on him.
