Gators’ senior guard Walter Clayton Jr. is amid the best season of his collegiate career, averaging 17.5 points per game, 3.5 rebounds, and a career-high 4.0 assists. The 6’3, 195-pound Lake Wales, Florida native is shooting 45.4% from the field including 36.6% from three-point range. Clayton Jr. ranks T-7th in the SEC in scoring and holds the second best shooting percentage among guards in the top 10 in league scoring, trailing only Vanderbilt’s Jason Edwards by 0.1%.
But perhaps the most impressive statistic is Florida’s record. The Gators are 20-3 (7-3 SEC) and rank as the No.3 team in the country, largely thanks to Clayton Jr.
