NEW YORK — Well, that was fun, huh? Thursday's whirlwind 2013 NBA Draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn began with a shocking first selection , ended with a dude you have 100 percent never heard of (Latvian swingman Janis Timma ) and had plenty of intrigue, chaos, mirth and mayhem in between. Here are 16 things that piqued my interest as I tried to pick my way through the swirling trade rumors and smokescreens: 1. I guess Ben McLemore and Nerlens Noel have the same tailor . Hey, Class of 2014? If you wanted to have your jersey sewn into the lining of your jacket, you're beat. This look's cashed. It's a fun look, a cool look, a neat little wrinkle ... but it's over now. Two lottery picks in the same draft going to the well means you can't come back with it next year. Don't let us just see you with your jersey in your lining. You're going to need something a little bit different. Also, it is very important to McLemore, the Sacramento Kings' No. 7 pick out of Kansas, that you know he tied his spiffy bowtie himself: "I practiced it. I definitely did it tonight. I've been practicing it. It's a nice tie."
