Highly acclaimed online basketball impressionist Brandon Armstrong is going to have a run for his money if some members of the 2015 NBA Draft class keep working on their already uproarious imitations.

During the annual NBA Rookie Photo Day on Saturday, the likes of D'Angelo Russell of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jahlil Okafor of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Frank Kaminsky of the Charlotte Hornets busted out their best efforts at mimicking some of the NBA's biggest stars.

LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Nick Young, and many others weren't safe from this year's rookie crop.

Kaminsky flopping through the imaginary lane like a fish out of water as if he were James Harden of the Houston Rockets is priceless.

R.J. Hunter doing the "Delly" dive? Too good.

None of the impressions are really that awful, although Trey Lyles' future as a promo artist in professional wrestling is questionable at best following his coach John Calipari. More aggression next time, maybe?
