The Florida Gators seemingly came out of nowhere to win the 2025 NCAA basketball title.<\/p>\n
Todd Golden’s team wasn’t even ranked in the top 20 to start the season, but after embarking on a 13-0 start to the campaign, the Gators were ranked No. 6 in the nation. It would prove to be more than just a hot start for Florida, too.<\/p>\n
The Gators went on to win the SEC Tournament championship before earning a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Despite a few close calls, Florida went on to beat Kelvin Sampson and Houston in the national title game.<\/p>\n
After the Gators’ most recent title, the team lost a few standouts from the 2024-25 roster, most notably star guard Walter Clayton Jr. and defensive stalwort Alijah Martin, who were both drafted in the 2025 class.<\/p>\n
Even without Clayton and Martin, though, Golden should have an impressive roster heading into the 2025-26 campaign after bringing back multiple rotation players and adding a few guards in the portal.<\/p>\n
Here is a look at a few of the draft prospects on Florida’s roster this season.<\/p>\n
A junior from Perth, Australia, some anaylsts thought Condon may head to the 2025 NBA Draft, but the Gators’ big man elected to return to school.<\/p>\n
As a sophomore, Condon averaged 10.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 49.3% from the field and 32.8% from beyond the arc. Listed at 6-foot-11 and 230 pounds, the All-SEC honoree has good size and will likely garner interest from teams in the late first round or early second round.<\/p>\n
Condon still needs to make improvements on offense, but his potential on that end of the floor and defensive skill set make him a candidtate to be selected in the upcoming class.<\/p>\n
Fland tested the NBA Draft waters in 2025, but elected to return to college basketball.<\/p>\n
After playing his freshman year at Arkansas, the sophomore transferred to Florida over the offseason, where he will look to improve his draft stock. The former five-star prospect likely would have been selected in 2025 had he declared for the draft, but has a better chance to be a first-round pick in 2026.<\/p>\n
Fland averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals as a freshman, shooting 37.9% from the field and 34% from beyond the arc. Fland measured 6-foot-2 without shoes at the NBA Combine, recording a 6-foot-6 wingspan.<\/p>\n
A versatile forward, Haugh should take on a bigger role as a junior after being a key peice of the Gators’ 2025 championship rotation.<\/p>\n
Listed at 6-foot-9, the 22-year-old averaged 9.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 48.5% from the field and 34% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n
With long arms and a solid all-around game, Haugh could be a solid role player at the next level.<\/p>\n
Hailing from the same high school as Haugh, Lee transferred to Florida over the offseason after three years at Princeton.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 16.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 43.9% from the field and 36.6% from beyond the arc. <\/p>\n
If Lee can turn in another impressive season against SEC competition, he will likely earn a spot in the 2026 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n
