Stojakovic Enters 2026 NBA Draft

Andrej Stojakovic, who averaged 13.5 points on 50% shooting with 4.5 rebounds this season, is the second Illinois player to enter the 2026 NBA Draft. The 6-foot-7 guard, who previously played at Stanford and California, is viewed as a likely second-round pick at best.

Coach Brad Underwood praised Stojakovic's first season with the Illini, noting his positive experience and incredible strides despite missing seven weeks due to a preseason knee injury. Stojakovic announced his return to Illinois on April 17 with a simple "I'm back" video before declaring for the draft. newsbetting.cv
