The NBA Draft was wild. We were witnesses to trades, top prospects sliding down the draft board, and Adrian Wojnarowski’s hilarious verbiage.

Amidst all the drama, did you get a good glimpse of those sweet hats that Deandre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III and the rest of the draft class were wearing on stage at the draft?

If not, here’s Ayton in his new hat

He then got subsequently trolled by Joel Embiid. Welcome to the NBA!

Good news! Our friends at Fanatics have the NBA Draft collection right now. All draft hats are less than $40, and there’s several options for each team. Here’s a few of my personal favorites, but you can find the entire collection here.

Philadelphia 76ers

Poor Mikal Bridges though, who was selected by his hometown team and then traded to the Phoenix Suns.

New York Knicks

I have no idea if Kevin Knox will become the Robin to Kristaps Porzingis’ Batman, but the hat he was wearing was fresh.

Portland Trail Blazers

Team Lillard didn’t make a big splash during the draft, but I’m still quite fond of the apparel.

Phoenix Suns

Hey, at least Bridges still gets to wear a sweet hat!
