GAINESVILLE — Florida combo guard Walter Clayton Jr. was long shot to get drafted. Sharpshooter Will Richard’s odds of an NBA team selecting him June 26-27 were even lower. But the duo raised the 2024-25 Gators’ stock by exploring their professional options before deciding to return to UF for a final season. Coach Todd Golden’s team will open offseason workouts Monday after a 24-win season and first NCAA Tournament bid since 2021, with Clayton, the leading scorer last season, and Richard, a dangerous 3-point shooter and solid all-around player, back after valuable experiences testing the NBA waters. “Us getting them back in my mind is the best of both worlds for us,” Golden recently told The Orlando Sentinel.
