Alex Condon Returns to Florida for Senior Year, Skips 2026 NBA Draft

The move lifts Florida’s title hopes.

Overview

  • Condon, who disclosed Wednesday he will forgo the 2026 NBA Draft, will play a fourth season for the Gators.
  • He is ranked No. 30 on ESPN’s Top 100 and is widely projected as a 2027 first-round pick.
  • The 6-foot-11 Australian averaged 15.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 blocks this season after helping Florida win the 2025 national title.
  • His three-point shooting is the swing skill for NBA teams after a 9-for-53 (17%) year from deep that he says he needs to raise.
  • Florida’s continuity grows with guards Boogie Fland and Urban Klavzar also returning, with BetMGM now listing the Gators third at 10-1 for 2027 as Thomas Haugh and Rueben Chinyelu weigh their decisions.
