Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

Agree…. I have always said that if I were an NBA GM, I don’t think I’d draft Milan. Possibly take a flier on him mid to late 2nd round, but that’s it. One trick pony and defensive liability big time.

Was a great Cyclone while he was here though. Wish him well for sure, but I’d advise him to take the money and go to Kentucky.

That's completely incorrect, and something I would expect from a person that either doesn't watch games, or doesn't understand what they're watching. A one trick pony doesn't lead a 2 seed in scoring. He can catch and shoot, create a three off a pump fake, drive off an overzealous close out, and create a mid-range shot via the Dirk fadeway.

Big time defensive liability is silly, too. He was just outside of the top 20 in the Big 12 for Defensive Rating (He was 101.3, 20th was 100.4, 1st was 92.2). Milan was 14th in the Big 12 for Defensive Win Shares. Nojus Indrusaitis was a defensive liability. Milan wouldn't have gotten minutes for TJ if he was a "big time defensive liability."

I also don't think "one trick pony" is a pejorative in modern professional sports given how analytics driven things have become. If a team likes you enough, needs someone like you, and has a roster spot for that need, they can fine tune when you should play, against whom, for how long, the number of shots you can take and still be efficient,...

This is a perplexing situation. His stock will not get higher unless something crazy happens next year and he doesn’t seem to want to play elsewhere and finish a clone for what is out there. Go to Greece for a year I’d say

He's also a legit 6'-8". That matters. He's not some 6'-2" shooting guard.

Early or mid 2nd round with a multi-year guaranteed deal. No two-way contracts per Milan at the Combine.

Right. He's said what he wants and if he doesn't get it he'll go back to college. He probably won't raise his stock but he'll play for a year or two making 4 to 6 million a year and then start the g-league grind. Sucks but it's looking more and more likely to happen.

Its this simple, if an NBA team with a pick between 20 and 45 tells Milan they will draft him and give him a guaranteed contract he will stay in the draft (if the team is late round 1 contracts are already guaranteed so it is just them confirming they want to take him). If no team is committal to him then he will come back to college and make a lot of money at Kentucky, Louisville, St. Johns, or UCLA. He has basically confirmed that is his plan and nothing has really changed, the value of guaranteed second round round contracts has been known and he has known if he comes back to college he'll make between $5m and $7m.

Recently about 10 to 15 second round picks get standard full or partially guaranteed contracts. Typically those are three years guaranteed and a 4th year team option. Total value is usually in the $8m range for the four years. The rest get two-way contracts or training camp deals.

Basketball media and anonymous execs are only saying they don't think he'll go in the first round and that he will make more money in the short term coming back to college, which has been know for weeks or months. Most mocks have him in the 35 to 45 range.

If Milan wants to go pro, I would think he needs to go now. Another year in college likely isn’t going to raise his stock and he’ll be another year older. Plus being able to fully focus on basketball and against strong competition should help any weaknesses more than college would. But $6-7 million is hard to turn down

Goodman is getting close to Pate levels of annoying with this agenda. (not necessarily this tweet but all the other ones hes been doing about how it would be stupid for Milan to go to the draft)

If these executives are from teams with the top ten picks in the draft it might make sense. Would love know what the last ten in the first round think.

Hahaha…. You’re so funny.
 
Looking like Milan has little to no chance going in the first round, so unless he can go pick 31 to 40 or so, he would be better off returning to college and taking the NIL.

Does Iowa State have money uncommitted to offer Milan? I lost track.
