Florida’s backcourt got help in a big way on Monday as Todd Golden completed the 2024-25 men’s basketball roster with the addition of Slovenian point guard Urban Klavzar, according to Swamp247.
While technically a freshman, the 20-year-old Slovenian product has been around European professional basketball since 2014. He debuted in 2021 and got significant playing time last season in Spain’s second division. He’s a three-point specialist who shot 42.7% from deep.
Klavzar should get playing time early on, giving Florida’s veteran backcourt a break in any non-conference games that get lopsided. Walter Clayton Jr. and Will Richard are both back and shoe-ins to start. They could end up at the 2 and 3, allowing FAU transfer Alijah Martin to break into the starting five. Junior Denzel Aberdeen is in the mix, too.
That leaves Klavzar fighting to break into a fairly established rotation, but he has the experience to do it. Some of the international teams Klavzar has played against are comparable to the NBA G-League or better, so the transition to college ball shouldn’t be too shocking.
