One of the highlights of the basketball calendar has become the NBA Summer League, an offseason showcase where teams roll out their young players for evaluation and development purposes as well as use the event as a chance to try out undrafted free agents.
Luckily for Florida, they had a number of alumni in the Summer League. The Gators have had appearances from a few of their alumni the last few seasons, but none as high profile as their year after Tre Mann and Scottie Lewis were drafted. Considering they were the first Florida draft picks since 2013, this was a huge positive step forward for the program who needs to be able to sell an NBA development track to recruits.
