Draft Targets
Pick #4: D’Angelo Russell, Shooting Guard/Point Guard, Ohio State
The consensus top four is as follows: Okafor, Towns, Mudiay, and Russell, in no particular order. This should make the pick easy for the Lakers, and as the SG Kobe Bryant era comes to a close, this is the time to find a long-term replacement for him. PG Jordan Clarkson has been a pleasant surprise, and Russell could be a nice fit next t the rookie over the next decade. He boasts the flashiness that the Lakers just love, and can be a distributor as well as light it up from deep. Definitely way too early to say, but it’s all there for Russell to be Kobe 2.0 in LA, and what can be better than being taught by the Black Mamba himself?
