Los Angeles Lakers Grab No. 2 Draft Pick in Lottery - Yes, Byron Scott has good reason to smile. His Los Angeles Lakers defied odds and nabbed the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft via the draft lottery Tuesday night. In doing so, the New York Knicks slipped to land the fourth overall pick, despite having the second-worst record in the league at 17-65. That means the Knicks will draft after the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers. Here's the best Twitter reaction to that and more from the draft lottery.(Photo: Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

Joel Embiid @JoelEmbiid - Yes, landing the third pick in the NBA Draft should help Joell Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers turn things around. Let's hope for Philly's sake that's the case.(Photo: Joel Embiid via Twitter)
