Milan Momcilovic Weighs NBA Draft Decision at Chicago Combine with May 27 Deadline Looming
The Pewaukee native has met with 13 NBA teams and says a guaranteed first-round pick would keep him in the draft.
- Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic is at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, weighing his professional future with a May 27 deadline to decide whether to stay in the draft or return to college.
- Momcilovic finished in the top 6 in every shooting category on day one of the combine and has met with 13 NBA teams to discuss his professional prospects.
- The 6-foot-8 forward stated he would "probably stay" in the draft if he secures a guaranteed first-round selection or a favorable second-round contract. "If I can get first round for sure, late first round. If I can get a good second-round team that can guarantee me a good contract, I would probably stay," Momcilovic said.
- Inspired by Wisconsin peers' success, Momcilovic believes he can make an immediate impact, though scouts identify his defense as the "biggest question" regarding his professional transition.
- NIL money remains part of the equation, but Momcilovic said it will not drive his decision as he focuses on finding the right NBA fit before the May 27 deadline.
