Gators F Alex Condon declares for draft, retains eligibility

Florida forward Alex Condon declared for the 2025 NBA Draft on Wednesday while retaining his college eligibility.

The 6-foot-11 sophomore averaged 10.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 37 games (35 starts) for the national champion Gators in 2024-25.

“This was a surreal season,” Condon told ESPN on Wednesday. “There was so much depth on this team, and we all played unselfishly. A lot of guys stepped up in big moments. We had a great team, and that’s the reason we won the championship.”

Condon is ranked No. 29 in ESPN’s latest draft projections. The third-team All-Southeastern Conference selection shot 49.3 percent from the field and 32.8 percent (19 of 58) from 3-point distance this season.

He contributed 12 points, seven rebounds and four steals in Florida’s 65-63 victory against Houston in the NCAA Tournament final on April 7.

The NBA draft combine is May 11-18 in Chicago, and the draft is June 25-26 in New York. Underclassmen have until May 28 to decide whether to withdraw from the draft.
