Summary: Big or small? Big or small? Big or small? That was the question in the weeks leading up to Thursday's NBA Draft, and in the end the Lakers surprised a bunch of people -- and royally screwed the Philadelphia 76ers -- by selecting Ohio State point guard D'Angelo Russell with the second pick. Good idea? We think so, break down why, and what about Russell appealed to the Lakers when push came to shove. Plus, Larry Nance Jr. at 27 (and a most regrettable social media moment), Anthony Brown and 34, and what the new stable of Lakers means for their free agent search going forward. Mitch Kupchak says they'll look to bolster the frontcourt. Does that mean LaMarcus Aldridge? Greg Monroe? Kevin Love? Plus, Mitch interviews Robin Lopez!!!
