Jahlil Okafor says he 'would love' to be drafted by Lakers (VIDEO)
If the Los Angeles Lakers truly are undecided about whom to draft with the No. 2 overall pick, the feeling is certainly not mutual from Duke's Jahlil Okafor, who made it very clear that he would love to be a Laker come June 25.
Not even the famously hellacious approach from Kobe Bryant during Lakers practices would dissuade Okafor. In fact, he said at his pre-draft workout on Tuesday that he'd love to be on the receiving end of Bryant's profanity-laced vitriol:
Note the use of "when," not "if," to describe Okafor's arrival in Los Angeles. Or if that puts too fine of a point on it, how about his appreciation for the Lakers' winning history summed up with a succinct statement: "I would love to be here."
