The NBA Draft is less than a month away, which means all we can until that point is speculate. Who will the Lakers end up with? Will they go with Duke big man Jahlil Okafor or will Karl Anthony-Towns fall to number two? Players like D’Angelo Russell or Emmanuel Mudiay will be available as well, but are the Lakers willing to pass up on a big man?
Those are the questions that will be answered on June 25th. The Lakers need to get this pick right, otherwise this rebuilding process could take longer than expected.
Julius Randle was drafted last year, but this will be essentially his rookie season after only playing in the season opener last season.
