Florida guard Walter Clayton Jr. to go through NBA pre-draft process before deciding on future

Associated Press  

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida guard Walter Clayton Jr., the team’s leading scorer at 17.6 points a game this season, is entering the NBA draft with the potential to rejoin the Gators for his senior year. Clayton, a 6-foot-3 junior from Lake Wales who became a father in December, plans to go through the pre-draft process before deciding whether to forgo his final year of college eligibility. Clayton made his announcement on social media Monday, saying he would “return to no other than the University of Florida” if the NBA path doesn’t pan out. Clayton scored at least 20 points in nine of Florida’s final 14 games, including a career-high 33 in a first-round loss to Colorado in the NCAA Tournament.
