Overview
- Momcilovic remains entered in the 2026 NBA Draft but is widely expected to withdraw before the Wednesday 11:59 p.m. ET deadline to return to college basketball.
- National mock drafts and team feedback place him in the late first to early second round, with scouts praising his elite 6‑foot‑8 three‑point shooting while noting questions about athleticism and creation.
- Kentucky is viewed as the frontrunner for his services if he returns, with Louisville, St. John’s and Arizona also reported as active suitors competing in the transfer and NIL market.
- Coverage estimates that Momcilovic could command roughly $5–6 million in NIL deals if he returns to school, a financial factor central to his choice between college and a borderline draft guarantee.
- Kentucky cleared one roster question when Malachi Moreno announced his return to Lexington, which narrows Mark Pope’s offseason priorities and increases focus on Momcilovic’s imminent decision.
