Former Florida Gators guard Xaivian Lee has been ranked 70 out of 75 prospects in The Athletic's early 2026 NBA Draft analysis. This places him in the bottom tier labeled "summer league," indicating he is unlikely to be drafted. Lee struggled during his time at Florida, shooting only 29.2% from three-point range and performing poorly in some key games. Despite these challenges, he will participate in the NBA Summer League to prove himself and potentially secure a two-way contract or training camp invitation next month.
