(Gambling911.com Sports Wire) – Jahlil Okafor odds of becoming the first overall Draft pick for the Lakers Thursday night have move from -300 to -700, a strong indication that the sportsbooks believe Okafor is a virtual “lock”.

A lot of the talk Thursday morning was on D’Angelo Russell being selected first by the Lakers.

The last time the Lakers drafted this high was when they made forward James Worthy the No. 1 overall pick in the 1982 draft. Worthy went on to win three championship rings and the 1988 NBA Finals MVP.  – Tyrone Black, gambling911.com
