Yep! I'd rather him go to the NBA than transfer to another school. That would be awful. Going to the NBA, not so much. Go get 'em Milan!

Wut?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought players can still return to college after declaring for the draft.

 

[WISCY1895]

Wut?

For Iowa State, his departure marks a significant loss. Momcilovic’s scoring ability and shooting gravity played a major role in the Cyclones’ offensive identity, and replacing that kind of production won’t be easy heading into next season.
This is a misleading as hell comment. They make it seem like he’s out the door. That is not an accurate representation. Blum actually has the correct statement

Time for the Milan fan appreciation page?

Yep - and now they can also get drafted and play in the G league and then come back ha

You always get the last laugh.

They can, but I see this instance mirroring the AJ Green situation. There will be an NBA team that will want to get him in their system

Is he in-in, or is this a testing the waters and could come back?

He has plenty of time to make that decision

From Blum’s tweet looks like the main goal is likely to get feedback.

 

[CYedUp]

If he is not first two rounds I could see him returning for his last year

He’s getting feedback and then we’ll see if he can move up

Iowa State's Milan Momcilovic To Declare For 2026 NBA Draft

The junior forward reportedly intends to test the draft waters while maintaining his college eligibility.

“I probably, definitely, (will) test the draft,” Momcilovic told Cyclone Alert in a conversation at the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City. “Just because I think I’ve had a good year and shot the ball very well that I can.”

Momcilovic is viewed as a potential second-round pick after a 2025/26 season in which he averaged 16.9 and 3.1 rebounds while shooting an NCAA-best 48.7% on three-pointers (7.5 attempts) in 37 games (30.5 minutes per contest). He also shot 54.5% on twos and 87.8% on free throws.

“I don’t know what feedback we’ll get,” Momcilovic said. “We’ll see if I stay in or come back. That’s still to be determined.”

 

[cyatheart]

Yeah this should suprise nobody. He would be an idiot not to test the waters. Draft is really deep this year however.

There's only 2 rounds.... if he's not guaranteed 1st round I think he returns.

No they can't. Not if they've been enrolled in college already.
