Florida forward Thomas Haugh has decided not to declare for the 2025 NBA draft and will instead return to the Gators for his junior season, he told Jonathan Givony of ESPN (Twitter link).
Haugh helped the Gators win an NCAA championship in 2024/25, averaging 9.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 40 appearances (24.4 minutes per game). He posted a .485/.340/.794 shooting line as Florida’s top reserve.
While the 21-year-old was considered a potential second-round pick in 2025, ranking 62nd on ESPN’s latest big board (subscriber link), Givony says Haugh will enter ’25/26 as a projected first-rounder in 2026.
