Richard was the last of three Gators to hear their name called in the draft. Star point guard Walter Clayton went No. 18 overall to the Jazz, and Alijah Martin went No. 39 overall to the Raptors. The two-guard will compete for minutes with Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and possibly Gary Payton II.

The Golden State Warriors have selected Will Richard with the No. 56 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. The Warriors traded up from No. 59 to select the Florida Gator wing.
