UF star Nick Calathes will bypass NBA to play in Greece
University of Florida standout point guard Nick Calathes is going pro.
But not to the NBA.
Calathes, the state’s two-time “Mr. Basketball” from Lake Howell , agreed to terms Friday to play for powerful Panathinaikos , the reigning Euroleague Basketball champion club based in Greece, according to sources close to the former Gators playmaker.
Neither Calathes nor his family would comment on the development, pending announcements from Panathinaikos and UF. Gators Coach Coach Billy Donovan apparently was informed of his player’s decision Friday night, with at least one source saying a contract was signed.
