    I think people will be good either way honestly. I will be.

    I posted several videos from Sports Science on Russell, but his passing ability is simply off the charts.

    Glad I don't have to make the call even though I think we will be fine with any of the top 3 guys.

    The thing for me is I wouldn't really be excited about Russell at all. I'm like you I don't see it. What I'd be excited for is the plan that Mitch must have in place. We only take Russell if he's a star AND if we have a plan in place to get another big man.

    One thing is certain, the media did a great job keeping things exciting for tonight. I am pumped and ready.

    The last comment is the only one that would make sense BUT a possible frontcourt of Aldridge and Okafor and Randle will make other teams more than aware of us.

    Personally I think Aldridge/Okafor is a hand-in-glove type of fit offensively and even defensively they fit decently together. Randle plays a little SF and makes that lineup super versatile. I'd love it.

    Russell without Aldridge or Love would be pretty disappointing... but I guess that won't be resolved tonight.

    Weezy and Real...

    Russell will do more than fine in the NBA. You can quote me on that ;).

    :D I still think this is a no Brainer pick. It's Okafor. He's the #2 pick and we can all chill out when it happens!

    I think the Lakers will pick D'Angelo Russell. Byron needs a PG to be successful in his offense. Just look at Jason Kidd and Chris Paul.

    The Laker fan in me wants Okafor, badly. The basketball fan in me wants Russell because that will cause the most drama and movement.

    Neither of them won a ring.

    Time for a change for Byron. Go BIG or go home.

    Yeah what do I care what Byron needs? Give me the most talented kid. If that's Russell fine, but I won't pick to please Byron.

    Yeah, but I meant under Byron.
