That’s because of the bright red suit he wore for his big night. While many draftees like to make a statement, Dick’s was next level.

He was asked by media in Brooklyn about the choice and had an answer prepared.
“It’s Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. I’m from Kansas, she’s from Kansas. I’ve got her little slippers in my coat. Just the colours, I guess,” Dick said.

He also added he was happy to be headed to Toronto and said he wants to meet Drake, the team’s global ambassador.
“Off the court, I like to have fun. So it’s going to be a great time in Toronto,” Dick said. When asked what Toronto fans should expect, Dick said: “Get ready because it’s going to be a fun time, a fun, fun time. Paired with Scottie Barnes, you already know that’s going to be — I’m looking forward to it. Got to get out there, see Drake. I haven’t seen him a bunch, but I’m looking forward to that.”
Another question about Drake prompted Dick to quip: “Of course. That’s the goal. I need him to wear my jersey. That’s how I know — that’s my priority.”
Dick said he didn’t expect to land with the Raptors and his last workout with any team was with them.
“Everything just seems meant to be. So I’m excited.”
