Lakers Draft 2015: Discussing Jahlil Okafor vs. D'Angelo Russell for the Lakers at No. 2

Should the Lakers take the best big man available, or should D'Angelo Russell be the second overall pick?

The Los Angeles Angeles are in position to draft either Jahlil Okafor or Karl-Anthony Towns with the No. 2 pick, but is it that simple? There's a case to be made that D'Angelo Russell should still be an option for the Los Angeles Lakers, as we've discussed in detail here.

It seems like a clear-cut choice for the Lakers to select Towns if he's available, but what if it comes down to Okafor or Russell? What then? Two of our writers decided to take it to their inboxes to discuss what the Lakers should do in this scenario.
