Fifty early entry candidates withdrew from 2025 NBA Draft consideration ahead of this week’s deadline, including two players returning to defending national champion Florida.
In addition to forward Alex Condon and center Rueben Chinyelu of the Gators, the full list released by the league on Friday also includes a high-profile player transferring to Florida: guard Boogie Fland (Arkansas).
Head coach Todd Golden’s Gators finished a 36-4 season with a 65-63 win over Houston in the NCAA Tournament title game on April 7. Condon delivered 12 points, seven rebounds and four steals in the game, with fellow starter Chinyelu contributing three points, five boards and one block.
Florida’s other three starters — guards Walter Clayton, Alijah Martin and Will Richard — have exhausted their NCAA eligibility.
The NBA draft is scheduled for June 25-26.
