June 25, 2015 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

This year’s draft was supposed to be the rebirth of the Los Angeles Lakers brand. After Minnesota took Karl-Anthony Towns the Lakers were poised to land arguably the best center in the draft in Duke center Jahlil Okafor. It was a marriage made in basketball heaven, right?

Unlike their neighbors from … [Read more…]
