I know I should just be grateful we have the #2 pick but I kinda have my heart set on okafor. Him /Clarkson/Randle is going to be a treat to watch for the next ten years. Some may call me a homer but I believe okafor can reach AD's level and if he does we'll be closer to contention than alot of naysayers on realgm believe or hope.

Really cool most of us seem to all prefer Okafor as we're approaching the Draft. Should be nice to see this happen all over again, I still remember the 96 Draft, had to go to the local 7-11 to get the LA Times for the full draft results
2014: Randle / Clarkson
2015: Russell / Nance
2016: Ingram / Zubac
2017: Top 3 Pick? :nod: Fultz, Ball or Bust

The fact is I want Okafor ...but its fn laughable anyone thinks Russell is near Mudiay as a player, athlete, or even dribbler

Mudiay https://youtu.be/R68m3i8J-Pg

No contest between them, Mudiay would eat that ass alive 1v1

A 2k bot that can use his handles to get his shot vs anyone with a step back. Russ don't have them handle so that release. The fact is Russ releases lower and slower, he's going to eat that vs some teams. Plus if you play 2k, I know you know Westbrook and Wall can wreck Curry everyday

I hope Mudiay goes to Philadelphia where he can be the new AI. I hope Phil doesn't take him and try to neuter him, let him take Russell and use the triangle to get him easier shots

Okafor fits as the Lakers' next franchise player.

Let the Okafor Randle Clarkson ero begin.

Russell cancelled his workout with the Sixers.

Did you guys promise him that you'll pick him??!

Deal with the Knicks? Pick Russell at #2 and trade with the Knicks Okafor at #4, Hardaway Jr and future 2nd rounder. The Sixers wouldn't dare take Okafor at 3 and if they did we'd have more leverage with them to get Russell. Or we could just keep Russell. Either way I like the gambit.
