    I've wanted Okafor all along and that's my immediate first thought right now. Give me Okafor/Randle with Clarkson outside. We've got a young core that will grow together into something special.

    I'm so deliriously happy!

    Yeah, I have mixed feelings about it.

    Okafor is Al Jefferson. Which makes me a bit sad.

    I really want Okafor as well, but I'm going to watch a bunch of highlight videos for Towns so that I don't end up disappointed either way.

    But holy crap. Words can not describe how happy and surprised I am right now. I was so nervous and pessimistic all day.

    I think Okafor is going to have a better career than Al. He's already at that level and improving.

    Anyone have a picture of Okafor with the purple and gold photoshopped on?

    Minnesota is believed to prefer prefer Jahlil Okafor, per @JerryZgoda, which could leave Karl Towns for the Lakers at No. 2.

    We desperately need Okafor to start blocking shots.

    No way. That would be amazing icing on top of an amazing cake.

    I could have sworn I read a report that said the Wolves were interested in Towns; that's why I thought we end up with Okafor. We still have workouts, though. Things could change...

    If Karl-Anthony Towns is determined to get to Lakers, it'll be interesting to see how agreeable his camp will be to meeting with Minnesota.

    Maybe they need a point guard. Don't they always go for point guards? Just acting crazy right now... I just have to throw something...or someone. LOL!

    Mitch always makes the correct decision. As I've been saying, anyone we pick will be much better as a Laker than he would be with another team.

    If Okafor goes #1 I'll settle for Towns at #2. Might be a better fit, but he makes me really nervous physically.

    Sorry if this has already been posted but this was on Chad Ford's big board yesterday:

    "Okafor also skipped the combine completely. It was a small surprise given feedback from his camp that he's in the best shape of his life (an ongoing concern for scouts) and that he could've at least shown off a slimmed-down physique in testing. The scouts who still had Okafor No. 1 felt there was one team that might lean Okafor over Towns -- the Minnesota Timberwolves. Given that they have the best shot (25 percent) of landing the No. 1 pick on Tuesday, there's a chance that Okafor could still end up No. 1. Okafor will hold a workout for NBA teams in Santa Barbara, California, on Thursday. If he's really in great shape and shows more explosiveness, he'll help himself. I'll be in Santa Barbara to give a full report."
