Raise your hand if you winced when the Lakers snagged D’Angelo Russell at No. 2, 1 pick in front of the Sixers? But Jahlil Okafor is not a bad consolation prize. A lot of people think he’s the best player in the draft. Unfortunately, it now gives the Sixers three big men, and still looking for a point guard to run the show.
