Former Gators Shine At NBA Summer League

For players with NBA aspirations that are leaving the college ranks the NBA Summer League is usually the next step, and this year we saw a number of former Gators competing for different teams. When it comes to the kind of players that Florida is recruiting, SEC basketball is seldom the final goal–they’re looking to make it to the NBA. Given that the Gators have a young coach in Todd Golden, establishing some NBA alumni is of utmost importance when it comes to recruiting high school players–something that Mike White learned when he made the jump to Florida from Louisiana Tech.
