G D'Angelo Russell (Unanimous 1st Team All-American, All-Star, Los Angeles Lakers)

Rumor: Timberwolves may consider drafting D’Angelo Russell with No. 1 pick, ‘might be willing to move Ricky Rubio’ for the right deal

From Chad Ford of ESPN.com (via HoopsHype):

Karl-Anthony Towns is the No. 1-ranked player on my Big Board. However, virtually all the signals from sources inside the Wolves point to Jahlil Okafor being Flip Saunders’ favorite right now.

That obviously can change as we get closer to the draft. Workouts and interviews and lobbying from staff (I hear most of the rest of the staff favors Towns) could push Towns back atop.

And do not totally discount D’Angelo Russell here either. I am told Saunders is also a big fan and might be willing to move Ricky Rubio for the right deal.

Many people suspect either Duke's Jahlil Okafor or Kentucky's Karl-Anthony Towns will go No. 1, but Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said yesterday the team is still undecided.

Lakers Rumors: D’Angelo Russell Canceled Weekend Workout With Sixers
After working out for the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, D’Angelo Russell is considered to be in the running for the team’s second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft along with Karl-Anthony Towns, Jahlil Okafor and Emmanuel Mudiay. While the latest report has the Lakers ‘locked’ on Okafor should the Minnesota Timberwolves select Towns, an interesting development has occurred this morning.

According to Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer, Russell has canceled his weekend visit and workout for the Philadelphia 76ers, who have the third pick CONTINUED

Well it won't be Cousins and DAR, as it would take the #2 to get Cousins from SAC. But, perhaps Aldridge and some cap space. D'Angelo could learn from Kobe, one of the most consummate pros ever, then join Clarkson for a formidable back court of the future, with Randle and Aldridge in the front court.
