Nerlens Noel and Ben McLemore had college jerseys sewn into jacket for Draft

During Thursday’s NBA Draft at at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, Kentucky’s Nerlens Noel and Kansas’ Ben McLemore had custom jacket liners with their college jersey sewn inside them.  Both players were expected to get drafted higher than they actually were. Noel, who was in contention for the No.1 pick, fell to No. 6 (the Pelicans traded his rights to the Philadelphia Sixers for Jrue Holiday). McLemore went one pick after Noel at No.7 to the Sacramento Kings.
