INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers acquired three new teammates during Thursday's NBA Draft.
The Pacers selected UCLA's TJ Leaf with the No. 18 overall pick of the NBA draft, followed by a second round pickup of UCLA's Ike Anigbogu and a late trade to acquire the New Orleans' Pelicans' second round draft pick, Edmond Sumner.
As a freshman, Leaf averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game. He helped lead the team to a 31-5 record in his only season.
He also played under Indiana native Steve Alford while at UCLA.
