You know what happens when you have two major markets in the top five of an insanely interesting drafts?
Hype. Lots and lots of hype.

These guys are shuffling around like the a cards in a multi-decked blackjack shoot in Las Vegas. Yes, Karl-Anthony Towns has risen above the rest of the crop, but this Lakers pick spins like a top, man.
One day it’s Jahlil Okafor, another day it’s D’Angelo Russell. Oh, the team traveled to Las Vegas to be drool at Kristaps Porzingis’ potential? Awesome.
This time, it’s Emmanuel Mudiay’s turn, again. Bill Oram of the OC Register confirmed that Mudiay will workout for the Lakers for a second time and it’s happening today.

Mudiay reportedly shot at a higher percentage in other workouts so, like the dude at a bar trying to hit on the hot girl after spilling his drink on her cocktail dress, he’s gonna try again.
Mudiay is a great talent and very well could perform well enough to make Mitch Kupchak and the rest of the Lakers’ decision-makers think even more deeply about where to go with their second overall pick; but c’mon Lakers, let’s not overthink this.
Here, I’ll be that hot girl’s friend whose job it is to not let her friend make a bad decision. If it takes convincing, it’s probably a terrible idea.
