The Lakers used the second pick to select D’Angelo Russell with the second pick of the draft earlier on this evening. It’s been an exciting day in Lakerland!
The biggest moves for the Lakers are yet to come. They are reported to make a strong run at Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, and even Jimmy Butler.
Laker fans are happy with today’s selections check out some of the responses below.
Laker Nation: Congrats to Mitch Kupchak, Jim and Jeannie Buss on drafting, who I think is a future superstar in D’Angelo Russell!
