Florida is only a couple of weeks into the season, but three Gators are already showing up as early NBA prospects ahead of next summer.

On Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeremy Woo released his 2026 NBA Mock Draft and Thomas Haugh, Alex Condon and Boogie Fland all made the board. It’s a sign of how experienced and balanced this Florida roster is, while their fast start to the season definitely helps as well.

Woo projected Haugh and Condon as first-rounders, while Fland appeared later in the mock after a strong start to his sophomore year. All three have been major pieces in Florida’s early success and NBA teams are monitoring them closely.

Here is where each Gator landed, with Woo’s full evaluation.

15. Boston Celtics — Thomas Haugh, SF/PF, Junior

Woo: “Many around the NBA anticipated Haugh would break out this season — he has wasted no time establishing himself as one of the best players in college basketball. Although he’ll turn 23 before his rookie season in the NBA, Haugh looks like an obvious plug-and-play option who will help any team with his ball movement, defensive effort and versatility. Teams with playoff aspirations will be looking hard at him starting in this part of the draft.”

28. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Houston) — Alex Condon, C/PF, Junior

Woo: “While Condon can be divisive for scouts due to concerns about his offensive output, mobility, passing flashes and defensive mentality give him tools to work with as a potential glue guy at the NBA level. After playing a major role in Florida’s 2025 title run, he’ll draw longer looks this time around. He picked up basketball late and there’s some untapped upside here if he can add a reliable jumper and polish his skills further. Condon has been much more productive out of the gate as a scorer, pointing the arrow in the right direction at the moment.”

56. New York Knicks — Boogie Fland, PG, Florida, Sophomore
