The Pacers are preparing for the upcoming draft where they have picks No. 18 and No. 47. Due to the uncertain future of the roster, ensuring that the team drafts the right players that could either contribute now or be a part of a potential rebuild, is crucial for the team. On May 23, the team brought in a group of players for a workout to scout them to see if they could fit the bill for the Pacers. One of the players they brought in was 20 year old UCLA freshman T.J. Leaf.
Leaf’s UCLA squad had a very successful season, and Leaf was a large part of that.
