The National Basketball Association just wrapped up its annual Summer League in Las Vegas last weekend. The Florida Gators were well represented in the showcase, with six former players participating. Among those active were three members of the 2024-25 national championship squad.
Here's how each of the six fared in NBA Summer League.
Walter Clayton, Utah Jazz
Summer League stats: 13.5 points, 4.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, 3.3 turnovers, 26.0 minutes per game
Clayton's summer was cut short by a hamstring injury, but he didn't need any more than four games to show why he was worth a first round pick. He scored 20 points against Oklahoma City and 21 points against the Hornets, a strong display of the scoring capabilities he showed at Florida.
However, he totaled just 13 points in his other two contests and turned the ball over a little too much.
Clayton is slated to play a massive role as a rookie after the Jazz traded Colin Sexton and bought out Jordan Clarkson -- two of Clayton's three biggest competitors for minutes. The pair of departures could even leave a path for Clayton to start alongside Isaiah Collier in the backcourt, especially after his strong Summer League performance.
