NBA Draft 2017: Ranking Top Prospects in UCLA vs. Kentucky Sweet 16 Matchup

4. T.J. Leaf, PF, UCLA


Class: Freshman


Size: 6-foot-10, 225 pounds


The modern-day NBA covets big men who can stretch the floor, and that's exactly what Leaf brings to the table. At 6-foot-10, he's 56-of-125 on two-point jumpers (44.8 percent) and 26-of-57 from deep (45.6 percent), displaying an advanced offensive skill set for a 19-year-old.

There are questions about his defense, and scoring just 11 points on 10 field-goal attempts against Cincinnati's physical frontcourt wasn't a great look, but there's no question he's talented and could put up numbers if inserted into the right system. (Getty)
