UCLA Basketball: Jaylen Hands hires an agent, declares for the NBA Draft

A year after declaring for the NBA Draft, Jaylen Hands is doing it again as he has hired an agent and will forego his last two seasons of eligibility with the UCLA basketball team.

UCLA might have had a tough season as they finished 17-16 and no NCAA Tournament berth, but if it wasn’t for Hands, they would be in a much worse position.

Hands was second on the team in scoring as he averaged 14.2 points per game. He led the team in assists with 6.1, good for 19th in the nation.

The sophomore floor general was the spark that led several amazing comebacks, the most memorable being his 27 second-half points against Oregon at Pauley Pavilion when the Bruins came back from 19 down to get the 90-83.
