Every 2026 NBA Draft Pick in Their New Uniform: First Look at All 30 First-Rounders

By Jake Daneshgar·

The 2026 NBA Draft is in the books, and the fun part for us starts now: seeing every new pick in their new team jersey and uniform for the first time. This is the running ColorWay Sports tracker for the rookie class of 2026, matching all 30 first-round picks to the team colorway they just stepped into. We lead each pick with the team's official welcome post so you can see the jersey on the player, and we will swap in the real on-court uniform shots as Las Vegas Summer League tips off in July.

A quick note on what you are looking at. On draft night the picks hold up the jersey and pull on the team cap, so these first looks are the welcome graphics and the on-stage jersey reveals rather than full game uniforms. The true on-court uniform look lands at Summer League, and we will swap those in as they come. Here is how the new colorways look across the entire 2026 first round, from the No. 1 pick down through No. 30.

No. 1: AJ Dybantsa, Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards landed the top pick and used it on BYU wing AJ Dybantsa, who now slides into the Wizards' navy, red, and silver. Washington's red, white, and blue color story is one of the cleaner identities in the league, and the bold red jersey gives Dybantsa a uniform that reads loud on the broadcast from day one. It is a strong, classic look for a franchise cornerstone, and the colorway suits him.

No. 2: Darryn Peterson, Utah Jazz

Kansas guard Darryn Peterson heads to the Utah Jazz, stepping into one of the more distinctive jersey and uniform palettes in the NBA. The Jazz lean on their deep mountain color direction, and Utah's set gives Peterson a moody, modern look with the kind of contrast that photographs well. It is a sharp landing spot for a guard who is going to be on a lot of highlight reels in this uniform.

No. 3: Cameron Boozer, Memphis Grizzlies

Duke forward Cameron Boozer joins the Memphis Grizzlies and their Beale Street blue. Memphis runs one of the most underrated color stories in the league, the navy and the lighter blue layered with the gold accents, and it gives Boozer a jersey and uniform that feels both fresh and grown-up. The Grizzlies colorway has always read well on bigger forwards, and Boozer fits the frame.

No. 4: Caleb Wilson, Chicago Bulls

UNC forward Caleb Wilson lands with the Chicago Bulls, which means he inherits one of the most iconic jerseys in basketball. The Bulls' red, black, and white uniform needs no introduction, and there is a real weight to seeing a new name pull it on. The colorway does a lot of the work here, and Wilson steps straight into one of the most recognizable looks the sport has ever produced.

No. 5: Keaton Wagler, LA Clippers

Illinois guard Keaton Wagler rounds out the top five with the LA Clippers, stepping into the team's rebuilt blue and red identity from the Intuit Dome era. The Clippers cleaned up their jersey and uniform direction in recent seasons, and the result is a crisp, contemporary colorway that gives Wagler a modern look to launch his career in.

No. 6: Mikel Brown Jr., Brooklyn Nets

Louisville guard Mikel Brown Jr. is off the board at six to the Brooklyn Nets and their stripped-down black-and-white identity. Brooklyn runs one of the most minimalist jersey and uniform palettes in the league, and that clean monochrome look gives Brown a sleek, modern canvas to launch his career on.

No. 7: Darius Acuff Jr., Sacramento Kings

Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. heads to the Sacramento Kings and their royal purple. The Kings' purple, silver, and black color story is one of the most distinctive in the NBA, and the jersey and uniform give Acuff a bold, instantly recognizable look to start in.

No. 8: Kingston Flemings, Atlanta Hawks

Houston guard Kingston Flemings lands with the Atlanta Hawks, stepping into the team's red, black, and volt-green identity. Atlanta's jersey and uniform set reads loud and modern, and the bright accents give Flemings a colorway that pops on the broadcast.

No. 9: Morez Johnson Jr., Dallas Mavericks

Michigan forward Morez Johnson Jr. is the ninth pick, joining the Dallas Mavericks and their royal blue and navy. The Mavericks' jersey and uniform direction is clean and classic, and the blue suits a forward who will spend a lot of his time around the rim.

No. 10: Brayden Burries, Milwaukee Bucks

Arizona guard Brayden Burries rounds out the top ten with the Milwaukee Bucks and their Good Land green. Milwaukee's deep green and cream palette is one of the richest in the league, and it gives Burries a heritage-tinged jersey and uniform to grow into.

No. 11: Yaxel Lendeborg, Golden State Warriors

Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg is the eleventh pick, heading to the Golden State Warriors and their royal blue and California golden yellow. The Warriors run one of the most recognizable colorways in the sport, and Lendeborg steps straight into a jersey and uniform with championship pedigree.

No. 12: Aday Mara, Oklahoma City Thunder

Oklahoma City add length at twelve with big man Aday Mara, who joins the Thunder's blue, orange, and sunset palette. Oklahoma City's clean, modern jersey and uniform set has become one of the league's sharpest, and it gives Mara a crisp colorway as the Thunder keep stacking young talent.

No. 13: Nate Ament, Milwaukee Bucks

Tennessee wing Nate Ament is the second of Milwaukee's first-round picks at thirteen, joining the same Good Land green the Bucks showed off earlier in the round. It is a strong, heritage-rich jersey and uniform for a long, skilled wing to develop in.

No. 14: Hannes Steinbach, Charlotte Hornets

Washington big man Hannes Steinbach closes out the lottery with the Charlotte Hornets and their teal and purple. The Hornets run one of the most beloved color combinations in NBA history, and Steinbach steps into a jersey and uniform that fans have wanted back for years.

No. 15: Dailyn Swain, Chicago Bulls

Texas wing Dailyn Swain gives the Chicago Bulls their second first-rounder at fifteen, pulling on the same iconic red, black, and white the franchise has worn for decades. Few colorways in sports carry more weight, and Swain joins a jersey and uniform that needs no introduction.

No. 16: Bennett Stirtz, Oklahoma City Thunder

Iowa guard Bennett Stirtz is Oklahoma City's second pick of the first round at sixteen, joining the Thunder's blue and orange. The Thunder keep adding to a young core, and Stirtz lands in one of the cleanest jersey and uniform sets in the league.

No. 17: Ebuka Okorie, Detroit Pistons

Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie heads to the Detroit Pistons and their restored red, white, and blue. Detroit's return to the classic Pistons palette is one of the best identity moves of the era, and Okorie steps into a jersey and uniform rooted in the franchise's best years.

No. 18: Christian Anderson Jr., Charlotte Hornets

Texas Tech guard Christian Anderson Jr. is Charlotte's second first-round pick at eighteen, joining the same teal and purple Hornets identity. It is a vibrant, fan-favorite jersey and uniform, and the Hornets add another young guard to wear it.

No. 19: Allen Graves, Toronto Raptors

Santa Clara wing Allen Graves lands with the Toronto Raptors and their red, black, and silver. Toronto's jersey and uniform set is bold and broadcast-friendly, and the red gives Graves a strong, modern look north of the border.

No. 20: Jayden Quaintance, San Antonio Spurs

Kentucky big man Jayden Quaintance heads to the San Antonio Spurs and their timeless black and silver. The Spurs run one of the most classic, no-nonsense jersey and uniform identities in the league, and Quaintance joins a colorway built on five championships.

No. 21: Karim Lopez, Memphis Grizzlies

Forward Karim Lopez gives Memphis its second first-rounder at twenty-one, joining the same Beale Street blue, navy, and gold the Grizzlies showed off at the top of the board. It is one of the more underrated jersey and uniform palettes in the league, and Lopez adds to a young Memphis frontcourt.

No. 22: Labaron Philon Jr., Philadelphia 76ers

Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. heads to the Philadelphia 76ers and their red, white, and blue. Philadelphia's jersey and uniform identity is a clean, patriotic classic, and Philon steps into a colorway with deep history in the sport.

No. 23: Zuby Ejiofor, Atlanta Hawks

St. John's big man Zuby Ejiofor is Atlanta's second first-round pick at twenty-three, joining the same red, black, and volt Hawks identity. The bright accents make it one of the more modern jersey and uniform sets in the league, and Ejiofor adds frontcourt size to wear it.

No. 24: Cameron Carr, LA Lakers

Baylor guard Cameron Carr lands with the Los Angeles Lakers and the most famous colorway in basketball, the purple and gold. There is no jersey and uniform in the sport with more history, and Carr steps straight into a look that carries seventeen championships.

No. 25: Sergio De Larrea, Dallas Mavericks

Spanish guard Sergio De Larrea gives Dallas its second first-rounder at twenty-five, joining the same royal blue and navy the Mavericks showed earlier in the round. It is a clean, classic jersey and uniform, and De Larrea adds international playmaking to the Dallas backcourt.

No. 26: Tarris Reed Jr., San Antonio Spurs

Connecticut big man Tarris Reed Jr. is San Antonio's second first-round pick at twenty-six, pulling on the same black and silver the Spurs have worn for generations. It is a timeless jersey and uniform, and Reed adds frontcourt depth to a proud franchise.

No. 27: Chris Cenac Jr., Boston Celtics

Houston big man Chris Cenac Jr. heads to the Boston Celtics and the most decorated colorway in NBA history, the Celtic green and white. With eighteen championships behind it, the jersey and uniform carries more banners than any in the league, and Cenac joins that lineage.

No. 28: Joshua Jefferson, Brooklyn Nets

Iowa State forward Joshua Jefferson gives Brooklyn its second first-rounder at twenty-eight, joining the same minimalist black and white the Nets showed earlier. It is a sleek, modern jersey and uniform, and Jefferson adds versatility to the Brooklyn frontcourt.

Arizona forward Koa Peat closes the first round with the Phoenix Suns and their purple and orange. The Suns run one of the most energetic colorways in the league, and Peat ends the night stepping into a bright, sunbaked jersey and uniform to start his career.
