Ask a handful of NBA players if they’d like to play with Kobe Bryant on the Los Angeles Lakers and you’ll get a mixed reaction.
But ask Karl-Anthony Towns and you’ll get a confident answer – yes – he wants to play alongside one of the greatest to ever grace a basketball court.
Some believe Karl-Anthony Towns could be a top two pick in the upcoming 2015 NBA Draft which just so happens to fit perfectly for the Lakers who own the second overall pick.
TMZ caught up with the basketball phenom and talked about potentially playing in LA, which he seemed more than happy about.
Here’s the backstory … it’s still unclear who will fall to the Lakers at pick #2 of the upcoming NBA Draft — but most believe it’s between Towns and fellow college hoops phenom Jahlil Okafor.
Which is why it was interesting to see Towns in Beverly Hills at Il Pastaio having lunch with Randle on Thursday — who, like Towns, played his college ball at the University of Kentucky.
Both guys insisted the lunch wasn’t a recruiting meal … but Towns told us he’d love to play with a “legend” like Kobe Bryant.
What do you think, Lakers fans? Who do you want? Jahlil Okafor or Karl-Anthony Towns?
