The senior guard has scored as many as 26 points this season, and as few as five, but his ability to impact the game in other ways such as rebounding, facilitating and creating turnovers make him a crucial aspect of what's looking more and more like a Final Four caliber Gator squad.

Entering draft, keeps eligibility Richard will enter the 2024 NBA Draft while maintaining collegiate eligibility, according to his announcement Wednesday.

Impact This is Richard's last chance to enter the 2024 NBA Draft by choice, so his entry makes sense.

Potentially good news for Florida fans, Richard will be part of the Gators' program should he withdraw. Now, all that remains is his final decision.
