So after all the talk about Jahlil Okafor we ended up going with Russell. I think this kid has a ton of upside. I can't wait for him to get to work and soak in all he can from Kobe.

My draft day piece on what it took for the Lakers to get to where they are now. It's been a long, dark road but the sun is rising over the horizon. I'm posting the whole thing here because it's draft day, so take a break from all the rumor madness and appreciate the journey for a moment.

----------------------------------------
The draft is upon us and Los Angeles Lakers fans are giddy about the possibility of landing a new franchise cornerstone with the second overall pick. Some prefer Jahlil Okafor, the talented big man out of Duke, while others prefer D'Angelo Russell, a sweet shooting and slick passing guard out of Ohio State who fits the modern NBA perfectly. Still others hope to see the pick...

I don't know what to say. Wow. Can we really get LMA? Or is he using us to have SAS pony up
