And I’m proud to say that no one looked better Thursday night than the Mavs’ very own draft pick, NC State point guard Dennis Smith, Jr. I mean, just look at this:

I’ve always found the decision of suit versus tux interesting for these things, and over the years, I’ve developed a bias in favor of tuxes.
