Former Florida forward Devin Robinson was not picked among 60 selections and two rounds in the NBA draft on Thursday night.

The 6-foot-8 Robinson, who opted to skip his senior season and turn pro, averaged 11.1 points and 6.1 rebounds for the Gators this past season, helping lead UF to its ninth Elite Eight appearance in school history. Now, Robinson will try to land on an NBA summer league team and latch onto a roster as a free agent.

Robinson had been projected as an early second-round pick when he declared for the draft in April, but his stock slipped to a late second-round pick by draft night.
