Milan Momcilovic, the top-ranked transfer in USA TODAY Sports’ portal rankings, committed to Kentucky after withdrawing from the 2026 NBA Draft before the May 27 deadline.
The 6-foot-8 wing gives Mark Pope a major roster boost after a difficult offseason, with Kentucky able to offer both a prominent offensive role and a lucrative NIL package.
Momcilovic averaged 16.9 points last season, hit 48.7% from 3 on 7.5 attempts a game and scored in double figures in 30 of Iowa State’s 37 games.
Kentucky beat out Louisville and Arizona for Momcilovic, who becomes the Wildcats’ sixth transfer addition as Pope continues reshaping the roster around an up-tempo, 3-point-heavy system.
