T.J. Leaf’s shooting was NBA-ready from his first minutes on the court. While he only attempted 42 3-pointers in his rookie season, he knocked down 42.9 percent of them. However, much of the Indiana Pacers power forward’s game was lacking in his first year.
Not big enough. Not strong enough. His defense wasn’t savvy enough.
Leaf, however, looks to change that according to Mark Montieth’s piece on Pacers.com. The former UCLA Bruin mimicked Kayne West’s “Stronger” with his training.
“I’m a lot stronger, I’m faster, I can jump higher…just physically I’m completely different than I was a year ago today,” Leaf said.
