The UCLA Basketball program had their second player from last season selected in the 2017 NBA Draft as power forward TJ Leaf was taken 18th by the Indiana Pacers.
Earlier in the draft, Lonzo Ball was picked 2nd overall by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Leaf is an extremely versatile offensive player. His length and quickness helps him get around defenders under the basket and has the ability to score with ease. He knows exactly where to be on the court and has great awareness around the paint.
He’s off to Indy!
