Milan Momcilovic Eyes Kentucky as NBA Draft Decision Looms

The sharpshooter weighs his options after entering the 2026 draft and the transfer portal.

Milan Momcilovic, a former Iowa State Cyclones standout, has officially entered the 2026 NBA Draft while also joining the transfer portal, signaling a pivotal moment in his basketball trajectory.

During the 2025‑26 season he topped the nation in both total three‑point makes and shooting accuracy, a rarity that has drawn attention from NBA scouts and college programs alike.

A Sharpshooter's Crossroads

The sharpshooter says his style meshes with Kentucky’s emphasis on perimeter shooting, making the Wildcats a compelling option if he decides to remain in college.

Coach Mark Pope’s system, built around spacing and deep threes, aligns with Momcilovic’s skill set, but the player must weigh the benefits of an NBA pathway against the development opportunities in Lexington.

He has until May 27 to pull out of the draft, a deadline that will determine whether he returns for the 2026‑27 collegiate season or commits to the professional ranks.
