By Eli Burk
Apr 6, 2015; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Duke Blue Devils center Jahlil Okafor (15) goes up for a shot while guarded by Wisconsin Badgers forward Sam Dekker (15) and forward Frank Kaminsky (44) during the second half in the 2015 NCAA Men
- Los Angeles Lakers – Jahlil Okafor, Duke C
The Lakers are probably in the most interesting spot at number two because they need help at almost every position. However, the most constant thing every elite Lakers team has had is a true big man. From Pau Gasol all the way to George Mikan, the Lakers have had a huge success with the big fellas. So to add into that history, the Lakers should look at Jahlil Okafor with the number two pick.
Okafor has great scoring ability with unbelievable footwork for an 18 year old. He does need some work on the defensive end, but with the legends the Lakers have, especially at the center position, Okafor will have some of the best players in the history of the NBA helping him for his career.
