The UCLA Basketball team lost a staggering amount of talent from last year’s team, including their top four scorers which includes freshman phenom’s T.J. Leaf and Lonzo Ball. So most expect that next year’s version will have trouble coming close to matching the success of last years 31-5 squad.
However, despite the losses, there is reason to believe UCLA Basketball will be better off in 2017-18. The Bruins bring in the #4 ranked class in the country according to 247Sports, led by two five-stars, Jaylen Hands and Kris Wilkes.
The 2017-18 version of the Bruins will also feature a lot more depth, especially at the guard and wing position.
