You knew things were heading in an ugly direction at the NBA Draft when the New York Knicks selected Kristaps Porzingis with the fourth overall pick. There was weeping and gnashing of teeth as cameras panned to fans completely losing their minds, despite knowing next to nothing about the Latvian forward. Then, the photoshops and jokes started rolling in on Twitter.

And players started calling out draft analyst Jalen Rose for his ridiculous comparisons.

Needless to say, it was a long night on social media. Here are some other random reactions and photoshops throughout the Draft. SBNation’s photoshop of Terry Rozier, who said he liked sugar on his pasta, is especially good.
