Jay Bilas takes jab at Tre Johnson's NBA Draft outfit: 'like a guitarist for AC/DC'

Texas guard Tre Johnson was selected with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards. Johnson made waves around the Barclays Center with his outfit, which was a blazer, shorts and some long white socks.

ESPN’s Jay Bilas took a friendly jab at Johnson as he crossed the stage to greet Adam Silver, likening Johnson’s look to legendary AC/DC frontman Angus Young.

“Look at that suit. … Up top, he looks like a banker,” Bilas said. “Down low, he’s like a guitarist for AC/DC.”

Johnson spent one season playing for the Longhorns, starting in 33 games for UT. He would post 19.9 points (42.7% FG, 39.7% 3PT on 2.7 makes), 3.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. That not only made him the leading scorer for Texas but made him the leading scorer in the SEC and the highest-scoring freshman, who tied for 13th overall nationally, in the NCAA. He was also among the sport’s better three-point shooters. That won him SEC Freshman of the Year and earned him spots on the All-SEC Second Team and All-SEC Freshman Team.

That’s after Johnson, a Garland, Texas native, played high school basketball at Link Academy in Branson, Missouri after previously playing for Lake Highlands in Dallas. He finished rated as a Five-Star+ prospect as the No. 5 overall recruit in the 2024 recruiting cycle. He also ranked as the No. 2 SG, behind only VJ Edgecombe (Baylor)and the No. 1 player out of the state of Missouri. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Regardless of where he was drafted, Johnson was going to be an immediate scorer in the NBA. How the rest of his game develops, though, whether playmaking or defensively, will now determine his ceiling as a pro.

He now joins a Washington Wizards franchise that has made the NBA Playoffs just once since the 2018-19 season. He is the latest addition to their budding young core, alongside former Pittsburgh guard Bub Carrington, guard Bilal Coulibaly and forward Alex Sarr.
