Potential lottery pick Gradey Dick is going viral for his bold Draft Day outfit on Thursday.
The Kansas basketball star is rocking a sparkly, ruby-colored suit as an homage to another Kansas great: Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz.”
“So I’m from Kansas. Dorothy has her little slippers, I got my Dorothy suit,” Dick explained.

Dick took a big swing with this outfit choice, and he’s paying the price on social media.
“This is ridiculous. Someone should have prevented this. David Stern wouldn’t have let this happen,” one fan wrote.
“Easter Sunday grandmother fit, can’t hate it,” another added.
“New NBA player to hate just dropped,” another said.
