Overview
- Momcilovic formally removed his name from the 2026 NBA Draft pool on Wednesday night, May 27, preserving his NCAA eligibility for one more season.
- He remains uncommitted in the transfer portal and is widely rated the No. 1 available player, with Kentucky, Louisville, St. John’s and Arizona reported as the primary suitors.
- Multiple outlets report Momcilovic is likely to command NIL packages topping $5 million and possibly more, a figure that outweighed a likely late second‑round draft projection with limited guaranteed money.
- Last season at Iowa State he averaged about 16.9 points, shot roughly 50% from the floor and led the nation with 136 three‑pointers while hitting near 48.7% from deep.
- Iowa State is considered an unlikely landing spot because its roster looks full and the high NIL price will force pursuing programs to reshape roster plans and budgets if they want to sign him.
