Jaylen Hands was the only member of the UCLA Bruins who was drafted tonight in the 2019 NBA Draft. He was selected 56th overall by the Los Angeles Clippers, but the Clippers had earlier completed a trade with the Brooklyn Nets, which, according to reports, sent the 27th overall pick in this year’s draft to the Clippers in exchange for the Nets receiving a 2020 first round pick and the 56th pick in this year’s draft. Hands was that selection.
In our draft profile of Kris Wilkes, DCBruins compared Hands to Wilkes and wrote this about Hands:
Hands improved and made an effort to make himself a better player.
