The 2025 NBA draft combine kicks off next week in Chicago, where the top prospects ahead of June’s annual selection event will work out in front of members of all 30 professional basketball franchises.

The list of 75 players was released on Saturday and included a trio of members of the national-championship-winning Florida basketball program. Point guard Walter Clayton Jr.’s name was among those invited to the combine, as well as fellow guard Alijah Marton and forward Alex Condon.

Another Gator — guard Will Richard — was not selected to attend the main event, but did get the call from the NBA G League Elite Camp, which takes place just before the start of the main combine. If he performs well, he could be picked to join the other three at the mandatory NBA draft combine.

Walter Clayton Jr.

The graduating senior out of Bartow, Florida, averaged 18.3 points, 4.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game during the 2024-25 campaign. For his efforts, he earned First-Team All-SEC and All-American honors while being anointed Most Outstanding Player in the 2025 Final Four for his title-winning heroics.

“Clayton is a fearless, uber-confident shot-maker who just carried his club to a national championship. The stakes and the spotlight clearly don’t bother him, and when he really has it rolling, neither does the defensive pressure he faces,” Bleacher Report‘s Zach Buckley notes.

“He won’t be for everyone, since he’s already 22 and functions mostly as a 6’3″ scoring guard. But for a team with win-now intentions and a need for additional shot-making… his production and skill could trump those concerns.”

Alex Condon

Over two seasons in Gainesville, the Aussie played in 74 total games while starting exactly half of them (37), averaging 9.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks per appearance.

He played in all 36 games and earned SEC All-Freshman honors two seasons ago, totaling 277 points, 229 rebounds and a team-leading 45 blocked shots. Condon was the first Gator in program history to make his first career start in the NCAA Tournament against the Colorado Buffaloes in 2024.

This year, the multi-talented forward averaged 10.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game while cementing his status as a starter in Florida’s rotation during the 2024-25 campaign. He was recognized as the SEC Player of the Week three times and was named third-team All-SEC.

“During the season, the 6-foot-11 playmaker fit a multitude of roles, learning through the bumps and bruises as he fit next to teammates who filled similar spaces or guarded opponents with a skillset he never faced before. Growing from each moment, the final result was an impact performance which shaped a national championship season,” On3’s James Fletcher III notes.

Alijah Martin

Martin was a very productive member of the roster during his lone season in Gainesville, averaging a career-high 14.4 points per game along with 4.5 rebounds with 82 assists, and 79 3-point field goals. He started 36 of his 38 appearances with the Orange and Blue, and his 546 points rank 17th in Florida history in a single season and the third-most by a transfer.

His efforts helped him become the first player to start in a Final Four for two different teams.

“Alijah Martin has not drawn widespread NBA draft praise, largely because of his 6-foot-2 frame as an off-ball guard. However, there is so much to like about his ability to compete on both ends that he should draw second-round interest and at least get the opportunity to play for a two-way deal this offseason,” Fletcher’s assessment begins.

“Despite lacking the size needed to score and guard at a high level, standing well shorter than many of the matchups he could face in the NBA, there is a special tenacity present throughout his college career which promises to translate into a reliable bench role which could keep him on a roster with hopes of development.”
