Florida returns all three members of its starting frontcourt for the 2026-27 college basketball season. While Thomas Haugh was already a projected first-rounder, Rueben Chinyelu and Alex Condon have a chance to join him if the season goes well enough.
The Athletic's Sam Vecenie has Haugh going at No. 7 in his first "way-too-early" mock draft. Chinyelu follows at No. 22, and Condon sits in the "other names to watch" category.
Todd Golden has already seen three of his players get selected in a single draft, but Florida hasn't produced three first-rounders since Corey Brewer, Al Horford and Joakim Noah did it in 2007. All three were top 10 picks, and Florida won its second national championship that season. Can history repeat itself?
The case for Haugh is clear. He was already a top-20 pick and second-team All-American as a junior. Haugh enters his senior campaign as an SEC Player of the Year candidate, and perhaps on the national scale as well. The motor is unmatched, and he can score from every level.
Haugh averaged six rebounds per game with Chinyelu and Condon on the court, and he showed some passing presence with two ****** ists per game. He also plays wing at 6-foot-9, which NBA teams want on their roster.
