Florida cruised to an 83-54 win over Merrimack to move to 4-0 on the season. Florida’s big three of Thomas Haugh, Alex Condon, and Rueben Chinyelu were pulled with 10 minutes to go, so there was plenty of opportunity to see the bench in action.

These are our report card grades from the game.

Florida report card grades after beating Merrimack

Starters

  • Alex Condon: A+. A team-high 16 points and four assists in 22 minutes. He went 8-for-8 at the line and grabbed four offensive rebounds. Much like his game against Jacksonville, Condon thrives when facing an overmatched opponent.
  • Thomas Haugh: A. Scored 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting, grabbed six rebounds, and added two assists and a block without a turnover. Haugh didn’t even need a three-pointer to rack up his 15 points.
  • Rueben Chinyelu: A. Needed just six shots to score 12 points and added six rebounds. He was defensivley a brick wall once again and honestly was a big reason why it was a blowout despite there not being an offensive explosion. 
  • Alex Lloyd: A. Florida’s best guard on the night. Filling in for Boogie Fland in his first career start, Lloyd hit three threes, scored 11 points, and added two assists, two steals, and a block. Lloyd looked very comfortable.
  • Denzel Aberdeen: C−. Four rebounds and a steal were solid contributions, but he scored just three points and attempted only three shots in 20 minutes. We’ll see how things play out at the Players Era Tournament, but Aberdeen has been very hit or miss this season.

Bench

  • Urban Klavzar: B−. Led the bench with eight points and added three rebounds and two assists. He was just 1-for-5 from three.
  • Isaiah Brown: C. Thought he might get a bigger run with Fland out, but instead he scored just two points in 16 minutes. He did chip in three rebounds, a steal, and a block without committing a turnover. 
  • Domen Petrovic: C+. Three assists and no turnovers in 14 minutes helped boost his grade even though he had just two points.
  • AJ Brown: B+. Scored six points on three shots in eight minutes and looked good off the bench.
  • Alex Kovatchev: A−. Made both three-point attempts and scored six points in four minutes. Not much more one can ask.
  • Arturas Butajevas: C-. Made both free throws and handed out two assists without a turnover in seven minutes. He missed both of his shots from the field.
  • Viktor Mikic: D+. Grabbed two rebounds and had an assist in six minutes, but also committed two turnovers. 
  • Jones Lay: C. Grabbed two defensive rebounds in five minutes. Not much else to go on from his night.
