What does this mean for the Lakers? Well, you have to think Towns tops Mitch Kupchak’s draft board and, fortunately, reportedly doesn’t top Flip Saunders’ – GM of the Minnesota Timberwolves. According to several reports, Saunders prefers Jahlil Okafor’s polished post game over Towns’ versatility.

Here’s hoping Saunders doesn’t see this tape and maintains that sentiment.
