Boomers Bolster Roster with Gator Talent
Alex Condon, a junior forward who helped the Florida Gators secure All‑SEC honors, has been named to the Australian men’s national basketball team that will compete in the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers in Perth from July 3‑6.
The 6‑foot‑9 prospect, who was listed as the No. 47 overall draft prospect and the No. 11 center by CBS Sports, brings a blend of scoring and rebounding that helped him average 15.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists over his three‑year college career.
Condon will be only the third Gator to represent the senior Australian side, following the footsteps of Andrew Nembhard and Mike Rosario, a milestone that underscores the program’s growing international footprint.
The upcoming tournament in Perth marks a significant step for the Boomers, who are looking to fine‑tune their roster ahead of the global showcase later this year, with Condon expected to add depth in the paint and provide a reliable outside threat.
Coach and teammates alike have praised Condon’s work ethic and versatility, noting that his experience in high‑pressure SEC games should translate well to the international stage, where he hopes to contribute to Australia’s push for a World Cup berth.
