The LB NBA Mock Draft: Los Angeles Lakers Select Jahlil Okafor No. 2 Overall

Measured against his accomplishments, it might seem strange that Jahlil Okafor is seen as a divisive prospect. What more could he have accomplished in his freshman season at Duke? Capturing a national championship as a freshman centerpiece with great statistical output is a testament to the impact Okafor made on the college landscape.

Of course, the question is not necessarily what he's done, but where he goes from here. And that's the rub in selecting him second overall as the fake GM of the Los Angeles Lakers.

As the NBA continues to drift away from the days of plentiful, post-operating behemoths, players like Okafor are poised to take advantage and fill the void.
