Princeton standout point guard Xaivian Lee announced Wednesday on social media that he is transferring to national champion Florida.

Twice an All-Ivy League first-team selection, he made visits to the Gators’ campus as well as to Kansas and St. John’s. Lee, who has one year of eligibility remaining, was regarded as one of the top point guards in the transfer portal.

Lee, who explored entering the NBA draft last year before returning to Princeton, will re-enter the draft process ahead of his move to Florida, his agent, George S. Langberg, told the Trentonian (N.J.) newspaper.

A native of Toronto, the 6-foot-4 Lee would be a replacement for Florida’s All-America guard Walter Clayton Jr., who has exhausted his eligibility and is heading to the NBA draft. Clayton followed a similar path, playing at a Northeast mid-major (Iona) before transferring to Florida.

Lee averaged 16.9 points last season with career bests with 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in 30 contests (all starts). In 91 career games (59 starts) for the Tigers, Lee averaged 12.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

For his career, he has shot 43.5 percent from the field, including 33.4 percent from 3-point range, and 79.6 percent from the foul line.

Lee was All-Ivy League first team in 2023-24 and 2024-25. He became the first player in Princeton history to record a triple-double when he logged 21 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in a 77-69 win at Saint Joseph’s on Dec. 3, 2024.
