Andrew Moten is a long time favorite of mine. I will never forget the first tv game I saw him in playing UF. He was as complete a Frosh as UF has ever had.

Eugene McDowell
Ronnie Williams - the most surprising NBA miss IMO.
Dan Cross.
Dupay.
Brent Wright.
If he qualifies, Calathes. (although some believe he only hasn't made it into the NBA, because he hasn't tried yet)

Gotta include Taurean Green in the bunch. He is still making a living playing basketball though albeit in Turkey.

Does Clifford Lett qualify as not making the NBA? I think that he had a few 10-day contracts, so maybe he isn't eligible.
TG has played in 17 NBA games, BTW, so he is in the same situation.

Played many games with Andrew Moten. The dude could flat out ball for his size. Don't know how he didn't make it in the NBA.

If you knew Teddy you may not think so highly of him.
The best UF players I played against/with were:
I was fortunate to play with/against quite a few Gators
Jason Williams (Easily the toughest UF cover I've ever had)
Dan Cross
Vernon Maxwell
Major Parker was impossible to guard in high school
Rex Grossman (Intramurals)
Fred Weary (was such a ridiculous athlete-Intramurals)
My favorites:
UD
Jason Williams even though he was a complete dick
Eddie Shannon
Corey Brewer
AL Horford
Joakim Noah
James White (Not a great Gator but just a really cool guy)
Donnell Harvey (Every time I saw him on campus he was smiling ear to ear-Great guy)
Kenyon Weeks (Good friend)
Kendrick Spruel

He got hurt right away in the old CBA.

I was at UF from 95-99. I played against Vernon recreationally. I just realized I didn't read the OP very well. ....."didn't make the NBA" is what I missed.  Sorry

My answer is completely based on how much I enjoyed watching these players play the game (although the ending to Dupay's career was very disappointing). I don't know any Gator players (past or present) personally. Not many of them spent much time at Weil Hall while I was there ('78 - '85) 
I did get to play a pickup game with Ronnie Williams in the old Alligator Alley one time, and fed him a couple of assists that aren't in the record books

I really rooted for Teddy as he is a hometown kid and I coached against his YBA team, but not for some bad life choices followed by injury it would have been great to see him in the league
