Todd Golden and Florida Gators could be perfect fit for elite transfer
TL;DR
The Florida Gators are targeting Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic, the No. 2 player in the transfer portal, after his decision to enter both the NBA draft and the transfer portal. Momcilovic, a standout player with All-Big 12 honors, averaged 16.9 points and 3.1 rebounds last season.
The Florida Gators are looking to get the sour taste of a second-round exit out of their mouths, and the transfer portal may give them just what they're looking for.
Todd Golden's squad is rumored to be a favorite for the No. 2 player in the transfer portal, Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic. The Second Team All-Big 12 selection reportedly decided to enter the NBA draft as well as the transfer portal on Monday, and on Tuesday, he officially entered the portal with a do-not-contact tag.
That would indicate that Momcilovic has a pretty good idea where he's heading, should he choose to return to college for his senior season.
The Pewaukee, Wisconsin, native earned All-Big 12 Freshman honors in 2024, and he averaged 16.9 points and 3.1 rebounds this past season. He averaged in double figures offensively in each of his three seasons with the Cyclones.
The 6-foot-8 Momcilovic would be a natural replacement for Thomas Haugh, a Second Team All-American this past season who is widely projected as a first-round and potential lottery pick in the 2026 NBA draft. Adding Momcilovic to a frontcourt that could return two starters from last season in two-time All-SEC forward Alex Condon and Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Rueben Chinyelu would give the Gators a dominant group of bigs once again.
Momcilovic is currently projected to be a second-round pick in the draft, and if he opts to come back to college, Florida could be the perfect fit.
