With the second pick the 2015 NBA Draft, Rocky Mountain Way and the Los Angeles Lakers select: D'Angelo Russell, Guard, Ohio State.
Rocky Mountain Way:
There are uncertainties about an aging Kobe Bryant coming off shoulder surgery. With Jeremy Lin possibly leaving via free agency, the team needs a true point guard, more importantly they need a young dynamic leader. Without Kobe last year there was no one on the team that could really take charge, lead the team, and run the offense well. Russell is the guy that can do all of that right away.
