20. <p>Jahlil Okafor is one of the most talented offensive guys in the draft this year. He can score on the block and can even step outside to knock down some mid-range jump shots from time to time. I wouldn’t be surprised if Okafor turned out to be the next best scoring big man since DeMarcus Cousins entered the NBA.</p> <p>For the Lakers, they have been looking for a big man who can do something similar to Shaquille O’Neal ever since he left the Lakers and the Dwight Howard project didn’t work out. If the Lakers are going to do anything while Kobe is still with the organization, they are going to need to acquire more than just Okafor. But if they get someone who can help share the load in free agency like a Kevin Love or Jimmy Butler type of player, they will be a title contender in the next one to three years.</p>. PF/C. Duke. Jahlil Okafor. 2. player
