Denzel Aberdeen rounded what was the most talented backcourt in all of college basketball last season.

As the first guard off the bench for Todd Golden‘s Florida Gators, Aberdeen provided a jolt of athleticism in his 19.8 minutes per game off the bench. The energy and production he brought to the hardwood allowed Florida to maintain the status quo, which led the Gators all the way to a national championship.

“He brought an edge to our team,” Florida’s Thomas Haugh, who also came off the bench with Aberdeen last season, told KSR about his former teammate at SEC Media Days this week.
