Former Iowa State star Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

(WKYT) – Former Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic has committed to Kentucky.

The Wildcats get the No. 1 player in the transfer portal for the 2026-27 season.

The 6-foot-8 Pewaukee, Wisconsin native averaged 16.9 points and shot 48.7% from 3-point range. He ranked fifth in the country in 3-pointers made and was first in 3-point shooting percentage.

Momcilovic participated in the NBA Combine and was one of the best shooter during the event but was projected to be a second round pick. He then decided to return back to college and reportedly would choose between Kentucky, Louisville, St. John’s and Arizona.

This past season, he had a season high 34 points and eight three-pointers against Cincinnati. He also made eight threes against Arizona in the Big 12 tournament.

In the second round of the NCAA Tournament against Kentucky, he finished with 20 points on 6-12 shooting.

Momcilovic is now the 14th member of the 206-27 roster. He joins the group of forwards that includes Kam Williams, Braydon Hawthorne, Justin McBride, and Ousmane N’Diaye.
