Lakers draft 17-year old

Instead of shooting for immediate help following one of the worst seasons in franchise history, the Los Angeles Lakers looked to the future Tuesday night, making 17-year-old centre Andrew Bynum the youngest player ever taken in the NBA draft.

And if that isn't enought to ensure that Kobe Bryant is no longer the most immature player in a Lakers uniform, recently re-hired coach Phil Jackson has indicated that he is prepared to ask whoever is staying at Neverland on any given night to suit up.
