    Hoping for at least a couple of candid responses from Mitch instead of full on cyborg mode.

    Watched the interview on periscope. Great kid, good answers. Randle was in the gym again today. And Pincus half jokingly said Okafor shot the 3 ball better than Mudiay.

    He wouldn't come out and say it, but it was definitely apparent in his responses.

    Yeah. Honestly, Okafor is our guy. It's him. Watching in these workouts, desiring to be a Laker.

    Do it, Mitch.

    My stoked level just hit a new extreme. Jah is my guy and I want him in a Laker jersey for a long, long time.

    Funny seeing Mitch stand toe-to-toe with Jah though.

    Watched Mitch's interview...

    They don't know who they want yet, it's still early. Wants to bring in 1-2 more guys (Towns if he stops being a b****), will see a euro in Vegas this weekend, unsure if the tourney in Europe will allot them time to see the other 2. Then wants to bring these few in for a second look. Ultimately it's Mitch's decision, he and Jimmy are on the same page, but it is Mitch's call.

    Ribbed Okafor about playing for duke.

    Here's a really interesting link from Basketball Insiders that gives a brief breakdown of the player, an NBA comparison from one of their writers, and a "best/worst" case scenario from an anonymous NBA coach.

    Example: Jahlil Okafor
    Writer Comp.: Al Jefferson
    NBA coach: Best case- Tim Duncan; Worst case- Al Jefferson
