[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] this occurred to me today thinking about the draft. it occurred to me if you think about it, "the bachelorette" is a televised draft. right? except instead of millions of dollars in pay and endorsement dea

number two, the lakers selected deangelo russell. his draft stock had been soaring in recent weeks. say russell has the most potential of anyone in the draft. he do shoot. he's got more handling than a liquor store. check out the ohio state-colored suit. the young fella out there representing. a lot of people thought the lakers would take duke big dude jahlil okafor. that allowed the 76ers to take him with the number three pick. he won the national championship this season with duke. he's got the 7'5" wingspan. he holds a basketball makes it look like a tennis ball. >> the new york knicks select kristaps porzingis. >> you gotta love this little dude crying. taking a selfie. death, taxes, and knicks fans booing their draft picks. this time it was kristaps porzingis. he plans to turn the boos and jeers into cheers real soon. >>> usa, usa. the women's national team has a huge match tonight as they take on china the world cup quarter finals. it's a rematch from the 1999 final when the u.s. won their first world coup in front of 90,000-plus fans at the rose bowl. can't wait for that one.

now it's time to pick a guard and the best guard in the draft is deangelo russell out of ohio state.he problem is everyone else knows it, too. lakers at the number two spot also look like they'll pick russell. if he's gone, what do you do? you probably pick the best player in the draft and that is jalill okafor at that point. guy out of duke won a championship considered the best player all year in college real really but we have two centers dodge we really need another one? so sam hinkie what do you do? it doesn't matter. okafor feels regardless of wherever he goes he can contribute lots. >> your myself the number one pick. i'm a winner. i'm willing to get better. i'm a hard worker. i won't have any problems on the court. >> reporter: now there's been another guy a european player who was sky rocked up the board sixers might actually go for. i have little bit on him later in news. in brooklyn, back to you guys. >> all right. sean, thanks. we'll see you then. >>> a crosswalk in the city of before thely love just got colorful. the intersection of 13th and locust was painted to look li

many had them taking yes state guard deangelo russell but lakers took russell with the second pick. okafor is on a roster with another big man joel embiid, last years first pick, for sixers and year before nerlens noel. it will be interesting to go see if they can coexist assuming joel embiid is able to play but he has had so many setbacks with injuries to his feet and his legs. let's hope he can. >>> donald trump definitely not going after the latino vote in his bid for g.o.p. presidential nomination but to call immigrants, rapist, that comment and others from the donald straight ahead. >>> well known tv star from the 90's is sentenced for a stabbing screech not saved by the bell, or the judge. >>> you don't like frank? come on, guys. >> yes. >> every friday. >> yes. >> we are heading down the shore. >> down the shore. >> down the shore. >> down the shore. >> there is mikey, he has the delaware valley. >> in the palm of his hands. >> yeah i've got you under my skin. the reason why i'm leaning over so far is that alex holley is in the back seat. >> hi. >> it is a very small space. >

duke center jahlil oak for for the third overall pick, many had them taking ohio state guard deangelo russell but lakers were there in the position of second, so they took russell before we could get them. jahlil is on the roster with joel embiid last years pick with the sixers, that was the third overall pick and nerlens noel the the year before that. they have three big guys here. what will you do? it will be interesting to go see if joel embiid can play because he has some bad news about his recovery from his foot injuries, if he ever plays, it would be great because he has such a upside. >>> spanish speaking network dumps the trump over controversial comments he made about immigrant, we will tell you what he said and how june i vision responded. >>> first medical marijuana difficulties expensery set to open up today in delaware. we will tell you where and who is allowed inside more importantly. oak for. >>> we will see more rain in the forecast, evidently, and do you want to see the little public i because thinks diamond. hi tie monday. >> let me tell everybody at home what she did. >> sh
