Of the three Bruins who declared for the NBA draft, Jaylen Hands may be the most ready for the NBA. Hands led the Bruins last year in assists, steals and free throw percentage. Actually, Hands not only led the Bruins but he lead the Pac-12 in assists by a significant margin: one assist per game. This was from a guy who most doubted could even play point before the season.
Of course, there are a lot of caveats on Hands’ numbers. Starting with this was a terrible Pac-12 and not a good UCLA team.
