Take a look at how these three Gators fared in this NBA mock draft

Tre Mann achieves his dream of playing in the NBA, while the other two Gators who filed for the draft go unpicked in this recent mock draft.

Now that college basketball’s regular season has drawn to a close and the NCAA tournament is coming to its climax, the NBA draft season is steadily picking up steam. The upcoming class is widely praised for its immense top-flight talents, outside of that elite group, there’s a lot we still don’t know about the 2021 NBA draft.

In Bleacher Report’s latest full two-round mock, departing Gator Tre Mann was drafted by the Denver Nuggets with the 23rd pick in the first round. Mann, a five-star recruit who struggled his freshman season, benefitted from added size and parlayed his growth into a highly productive season.

Here’s what Bleacher Report had to say about the pick:

23. Denver Nuggets: Tre Mann (Florida, PG/SG, Sophomore)

Mann averaged 21.3 points in four games between both postseason tournaments, giving scouts more glimpses of shot-creation and shooting versatility. It’s worth questioning if he’s an effective enough playmaker to be used as a primary ball-handler, but he still offers an exciting mix of off-the-dribble scoring and setup ability for a combo guard.

The Nugs could use a more effective backup for star point guard Jamal Murray than Facundo Campazzo, but Murray is a 35-minute per game player and they’re also carrying multiple highly paid players at the shooting guard position. That makes Mann – an exciting shooter who isn’t a natural facilitator – an awkward fit with the team, who would seem better off targeting a big man to replace the aging Paul Millsap.
