Tre Mann announcing his return to Florida means the Gators have a guy who offers one of the premium skills in modern basketball—the ability to create offense individually. Yes, he didn’t hit shots at the rate you’d expect for a 5-star McDonald’s All-American but he showed flashes that gave us a glimpse at what he could be—the valuable instant-offense option the Gators have lacked over the last few seasons.
More than that, Mann represents something else that the Gators haven’t had in a number of seasons.
Competition for minutes.
Depth has not been a strength of the Gators in recent history.
