Always delete your tweets. It’s a lesson one usually learns the hard way, but Charlotte Wilder of SB Nation is here to stop things before they ugly. I, a content maker on the internet.com, am here to pull the very first tweets made by the lottery picks of the 2017 Draft, though. (Too late to hire Charlotte now.)
NBA rookies’ first-ever tweets include Lonzo Ball’s terrible rhyme
You have to check these out.
Remember: These kids are all current teens, which means when they fired off these bad boys, they were even youth-ier teens. These are essentially children’s tweets, which makes for some very fun entertainment, including smiley faces and emoji.
Now quick, before they are deleted, let’s look at what the future basketball prodigies had to share with the internet universe before they became millionaires.
Good tweet, Markelle! Now you’re going to able to play as yourself on 2k!
Lonzo, those words don’t rhyme, fam. And you spelled Spalding wrong. It’s ok though, you emoji’d properly.
I don’t know why this comes up as Jayson Tatum’s first tweet, but it does? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Josh Jackson wanted those shout-outs from the jump! I respect it. I think 54,000 followers later, he got enough shouts.
De’Aaron Fox, Sacramento Kings
Interesting fact, De’Aaron. Small world playing against Aaron and Andrew Harrison in high school.
Jonathan Isaac’s first tweet gets me so hype! TURN UP EVERYONE! Jonathan is tweeting! (:
Frank went bold with that Instagram link. Here’s where that takes you:
Dennis Smith Jr., Dallas Mavericks
Ok, not sure what the context really is here, but Dennis Smith’s first tweet is about dunking, which is very on-brand.
Well, Zach, it’s a pretty fine movie and all but it isn’t first tweet worthy. You had so much time to think of something better.
Follow Luke!
Donovan was very right in his first tweet. It was a good game! Pau Gasol blocked a Ray Allen shot for the Lakers to win by a point in overtime. I’ll trust any Donovan tweets now.
It is, Bam!
BONUS: Kyle Kuzma, Los Angeles Lakers
Ok Kyle Kuzma wasn’t a lottery pick, but we’ve got Kuzma fever over here. GOOD TWEET, Kyle. Shabazz Napier was underrated.
