"Russell, as it was written here in June, clearly should not have been the Lakers' first pick. The organization passed on 6-foot-11 Jahlil Okafor — who is averaging 21 points and seven rebounds for Philadelphia — because it swaggeringly thought it could sign big man LaMarcus Aldridge or Greg Monroe. But the rest of the league doesn't view the Jim Buss Lakers as it once viewed the Jerry Buss Lakers, and they were spurned yet again."
