The wait is finally over. With the 18th pick in the draft, the Indiana Pacers have selected T.J. Leaf out of UCLA.
It looked as if Indiana might make a trade before their pick came up, but ultimately talks with other teams failed before Kevin Pritchard made his pick.
Leaf will likely not receive his fair share of hype for a little while yet, thanks to the rumors that continue to surround Paul George.
The UCLA big man averaged 16.3 points and 8.2 rebounds a game in his lone college season and had the highest field goal percentage in the PAC 12 at 61.
