Florida Gators guard Will Richard was selected with the 56th overall pick by the Golden State Warriors in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft. Three Gators were selected in the NBA Draft for the first time since 2007 and second time in program history.
Richard, Todd Golden’s first ever commit at UF, helped Florida claim the 2024-25 National Championship with a team-high 18 points and eight rebounds including 14 first half points vs Houston.
