Joakim Noah (2007, 1st Rd, 9th pick) – Chicago Bulls

The key piece from those back-to-back title teams, Joakim Noah was the heart and soul of the team and it's hard to quantify just what he meant to Florida.

He went on a solid stint with Chicago, which included two All-Star appearances, and he was the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2014.

Injuries derailed him from there, and he eventually retired after the 2020 season.

Marreese Speights (2008, 1st Rd, 16th pick) – Philadelphia 76ers

One of the more forgotten players in Gator lore simply because he spent his freshman season as a role player for the 2007 title squad, Speights then had a great individual year in 2008 before declaring for the draft.

He went on to a respectable 11-year career in the NBA and won a title with Golden State in 2015.

Tre Mann (2021, 1st Rd, 18th pick) – Oklahoma City Thunder

Tre Mann feels like one of those players who lost to the dark ages of the Mike White Era combined with the Covid Era, but he was a first-team All-SEC player in 2021 before making his way to the NBA.

He's since bounced around the G-League and was traded to Charlotte in 2024.
