Xaivian Lee, a standout point guard from Princeton, has committed to the University of Florida, joining the reigning national champions as a replacement for Walter Clayton Jr. Standing at 6-foot-4, Lee is a two-time first-team All-Ivy League selection known for his impressive stats, including averaging 16.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game last season. He is also recognized for achieving a historic triple-double in a game against Saint Joseph's.
Expected to seamlessly integrate into the Gators' starting lineup under coach Todd Golden, Lee's addition will help maintain roster stability despite the departures of key players like Alijah Martin and Will Richard. While NBA prospect Alex Condon is considering entering the draft, the team is set to retain essential players like Rueben Chinyelu and has additional transfer targets in AJ Brown and Cedric Coward as they prepare for the upcoming season.
