The Los Angeles Lakers are doing their due diligence on other players, but sources say they're locked in on Jahlil Okafor.

D'Angelo Russell and Emmanuel Mudiay have been brought in for workouts, but the Lakers see Okafor as a franchise center if the Minnesota Timberwolves select Karl-Anthony Towns.

As much as any other franchise, the Lakers have historically placed a great importance on the center position.
