They haven’t picked this early in a long time and this years draft is extremely deep. Players like Jahlil Okafor and D’Angelo Russell will be available for them to pick.
Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports reported his thoughts on the lottery.
Towns, Okafor and Russell working out for the Lakers like their lives depend on it.
