WATCH: UCLA's T.J. Leaf embarrasses Cal defender with nasty juke, one-handed slam

T.J. Leaf jukes Cal defender and finishes with a nasty one-handed slam

The UCLA Bruins extended its hot start to the season Thursday evening with an 81-71 win over Cal in Los Angeles.

Steve Alford and his team full of stars moved to 15-1 on the season, thanks to scoring contributions from all eight members who stepped on the floor.

While Lonzo Ball is the freshman who gets most of the attention on the team, freshman forward T.J. Leaf is making some major waves as well. He made sure his presence was felt early with this nasty juke move at the top of the key and finished with force on a one-handed slam:

Leaf, 6-foot-10 and 225 pounds, may not be the flashy NBA prospect that Ball is. But for UCLA, he has been equally as important. Leaf is averaging 17.5 points and 8.9 rebounds and finished the win against Cal with 18 points on an efficient 7-of-11 shooting.

Here's another angle of that dunk:

Cal big man Kingsley Okoroh might have T.J. Leaf nightmares after that one.
