Top pick Andrew Wiggins didn’t wear just any old thing to the NBA draft on Thursday. No, the 19-year-old called on fashion stylist Brandon Williams and tailor Waraire Boswell to get him ready for the big day in a shawl-collar, rose print jacket and satin pants. Accessories included smoking slippers, bowtie, a brooch in his lapel and an Audemars Piguet diamond watch on his wrist. “Always dress like you’re going somewhere better,” the soon-to-be Cleveland Cavalier told WWD as he dressed.
