For the first time in four years, Florida’s backcourt will not feature the 5-foot-8 frame of former Gators point guard Erving Walker.

Instead, Florida basketball coach Billy Donovan — a former point guard himself —– looks to hand over a position featuring a prolific scorer during Walker’s time to defensive-minded junior Scottie Wilbekin.

Coming off his team’s first practice Friday, Donovan expressed confidence in Wilbekin’s ability to lead the Gators’ offense this season.
