As we get closer to the NBA Draft, there is a lot of attention surrounding the UCLA Basketball team, and why not? The Bruins had a star-ladden squad that returned to the Sweet 16 after a 15-17 finish in 2015-16.
Part of the reason for this was due to an agile big man that blew Bruins fan’s minds.
That would be freshman phenom, power forward TJ Leaf who led the Bruins in scoring last season. With 16.3 points per game and 8.2 rebounds (2nd on the Bruins), Leaf was one of the more important pieces to UCLA’s success.
