Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

If he ends up back in college, he'd be crazy not to go to St John's, IMO.

Pitino would get him wide open looks all over the place and they've got the cash too.

Tired and boring take. NBA payoffs are so much fun to watch. You sound like every old head out there.

I guess that's your opinion.

 

[enisthemenace]

Most mock drafts have him in the early second round. I would think he stays in the draft if that's the consensus on where he gets drafted

We’ll see. I’m not sure if it’s a good comparison, but I think Karaban is the benchmark comp and he performed slightly better than Milan at the combine, I think. Karaban is mocked early 2nd as well.

I’m sticking with my original call that Detroit picks him late 1st. That teams lack of shot making and inability to space the floor is killing them in the playoffs. He could be a way cheaper substitute for Duncan Robinson. While I think Robinson contract goes for 2 more years I think after this current year there’s very little guaranteed.

OKC. They need to save money and could use shooting. They have no holes on their roster and 2 picks in the top 20. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Could even trade one of those picks down and still get him in the late first.

Sure could.

They've got to release 2 or 3 guys, and starting guard Lu Dort is #1 on the list. With their luxury tax level, every $ they spend they have to pay something like $5 in luxury tax. They can afford to take a chance on Milan's defense because they have enough young depth defensively. If Milan's offense doesn't outweigh his defensive limitations, it won't really hurt their championship chances at all.

Another great option.

 

[FinalFourCy]

If he does return, waiting out two rivals bidding to keep him off the other’s roster is a savvy move

 

[Pope]

Go ahead and buy him, Kentucky. It'll just make it that much more fun beating you once again in the tournament.

 

[CychiatricWard]

Tired and boring take maybe.... doesn't make it the wrong take. I'll join the old heads on this one.

Just say you don’t watch then.

 

[ClonerJams]

He would actually be a good fit there. Popes offensive spacing at BYU was really good. That said I think he will go to the draft ultimately.

As a Pistons fan I would not be happy with taking him at 21, I feel like there will be higher upside players available at that spot. You could find 3 point specialists very easily in the NBA. Duncan Robinson as you mentioned, Malik Beasley last year, Tim Hardaway Jr. last year and they drafted Chaz Lanier already who while not on Milan's level as a shooter specializes in 3 point shooting.
Of course getting one on a cheap rookie contract has its benefits and
I wouldn't hate it I suppose but I think it would be a reach to take him at 21.

Well you sound like a punk ass ***** who needs to get the **** off of my mother ******* lawn, *****.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

SIAP. Nothing too much new, but important to note he’s not basing his decision on money

Gotta think NBA execs like that about Milan. He's there to grow and be a part of the fraternity, not necessarily for the payday.

Yuck

Completely agree if you think Milan has peaked. I think he could end up being a great value pick at 21 if he continues to improve and I think he will. He’ll have more time, great coaching, and better conditioning.

 

[harimad]

The more and more I hear and see how he’s doing, the more I’m starting to lean the other direction. St John’s is my guess.

We’ll all know soon enough.

If he's saying it's not about the money... then why not Iowa State, the place where he blew up?

I will say I’m pretty sure we don’t even have enough money in our basketball NIL fund right as of today to pay him what he was getting last season. We spent heavy on our team this upcoming season.

 

[Nor'MidWester]

If it wasn't about the money then come back to ISU as a walk on lol.

Walk-ons can still get nil right?

 

[PrimeCy]

It's always about the money.
