The Sixers seems like a landing spot for D’Angelo Russell, if Okafor and Towns are the top 2 as most expect, by Byron Scott made a point of mentioning Russell as a consideration for the Lakers.
Here is what he had to say via the Philly Inquirer.
“For us, we some holes to fill. So it’s not like we only have one need,” Lakers coach Byron Scott said Tuesday on The Jim Rome Show. “We have three or four different needs we need to fill.
“Obviously in this draft, you got two great bigs and you got a great point guard in Russell, as well. We got to wait and see what Minnesota does. So we are going to do our due diligence to bring them in and work them out and go from there.”
There isn’t a clear-cut franchise player in this draft, so it is possible that Russell will be the best player in the draft or a bust.
The Lakers can’t miss, so they better be sure in who they draft.
