Gradey Dick and Dorothy Gale are both Kansas natives and that clearly means something to Dick, who paid tribute to the Wizard of Oz heroine with his draft-night outfit.

The 19-year-old Wichita native just finished up his freshman year at Kansas and he was excellent. He averaged 14.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 steals in 32.7 minutes per game.

Most importantly, he's got interesting tastes in fashion, which should serve him well in the NBA.
