In the second week of the NBA season, many Gators have had strong performances as they move along in games. Saturday, Al Horford had 20 points and four rebounds in a 102-92 win over Indiana while Joakim Noah had 8 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in a 106-105 win over Minnesota. Monday, Chandler Parsons had his best game with the Mavericks, scoring 29 points and going 4-5 from three-point range in a 118-113 win over Boston.
Another week, another former Gator in an odd video. This time it’s Bradley Beal, who did an advertisement with Eastern Motors, located throughout Maryland and Virgina. The commercial features Beal awkwardly dancing to the company’s jingle, with a look that seems to tell us he too knows how odd this commercial is.
Here’s a look at the former Gators in the NBA, through Thursday, November 7.
