20. <p>The Los Angeles Lakers have already drafted one potentially great player in Jahlil Okafor. We all know what he can do around the basket and will be a huge presence for them. What they should use their second first-round pick on is a slightly more risky pick that will be a safety net if something happens to Okafor. Chris McCullough has a huge upside, but also plenty of question marks surrounding him.</p> <p>For one, he already has torn an ACL at a young age, which raises eyebrows in and of itself. But also he is 6’9″ and just 200 pounds. That isn’t exactly the size NBA teams like to seem on their power forwards. He has the room to put on 20-30 pounds, and has the time to do it if he is playing behind Okafor. If he pans out the way some think he can, he could be a solid player for the Lakers in the future.</p>. PF. Syracuse. Chris McCullough. 27. player
