--Report: Nembhard to withdraw from NBA draft, enter transfer portal
Adam Dubbin/Gators WireMay 30, 2020By
Florida sophomore point guard Andrew Nembhard plans to withdraw from the 2020 NBA draft and intends to transfer to another program, basketball analyst Jeff Goodman reported Saturday via Twitter.
"BREAKING: Florida's Andrew Nembhard will withdraw from the NBA Draft and intends to transfer, source told (Stadium). The 6-foot-5 sophomore point guard averaged 11.2 points and 5.6 assists per game this past season and should be a pursued heavily by other high-major schools." — Jeff Goodman, @GoodmanHoops
The second-year starter declared for the draft back on April 26 and signed with an NCAA-approved agent after averaging 11.2 points, 5.4 assists and 2.9 rebounds in a disappointing 2019-20 campaign for the Gators men's basketball team. Though his numbers were an improvement over his freshman stat line, he failed to take the big step forward that Gators fans and NBA scouts expected to see.
UF is awaiting the decision of rising sophomore guard Tre Mann, who also is seeking NBA input.
It was hoped that Nembhard would return to the Gators, rejoining a cast that lost only one starter from the year prior and is welcoming three potential impact transfer players. Unfortunately, he will not be donning the Orange and Blue next season, and instead it will be a competition between Tyree Appleby and Ques Glover for the starting point guard role.
