The Florida Gators had three players selected in the NBA Draft this week, something the program has accomplished only twice all time. Might they do it again in 2026? According to Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo of ESPN, it’s possible.

They released an early ESPN 2026 NBA mock draft that includes three Gators. Here are their projections:

29. Alex Condon, C, Florida, junior
31. Boogie Fland, PG, Florida, sophomore
40. Thomas Haugh, SF/PF, Florida, junior

Wednesday, Florida All-American point guard Walter Clayton Jr. was taken by Washington at No. 18 overall in the first round of the NBA Draft, then traded to Utah. The Toronto Raptors then selected guard Alijah Martin with the No. 39 overall pick in the second round. Finally, UF wing Will Richard went No. 56 overall (Golden State Warriors). Those three were among the most important players on UF’s 2025 national championship team.

Condon and Haugh were crucial in UF’s championship season, too

Condon is returning for his junior season after withdrawing from the 2025 NBA Draft in May. He earned second-team All-SEC honors last season and averaged 10.7 points, leading Florida with 7.5 rebounds and 49 blocks along with 2.2 assists per game. Meanwhile, he scored in double figure 19 times and recorded seven double-doubles.

Fland, a rising sophomore listed at 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, transferred from Arkansas this offseason. He was On3’s No. 1 point guard in the class of 2024 out of Archbishop Stepinac in New York. At Arkansas, he averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 assists, and 3.2 rebounds in 21 games (18 starts). He shot 37.9 percent from the field and 34.0 percent from three, with just 1.4 turnovers per game—strong numbers for a freshman primary ball-handler.

Haugh, who will play small-forward and power-forward next season, was one of the most effective sixth men in the country during Florida’s 2024–25 national championship run. He averaged 9.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists and started five games in league play after an injury to starting power forward Alex Condon. In the NCAA Tournament, his four 3-pointers against Texas Tech in the regional finals provided the Gators with a much needed spark. Without them, a national title doesn’t happen.
