The Kentucky Wildcats have added a major piece to their roster with the signing of a 6-foot-7 wing who brings elite scoring ability and NBA pedigree. A former five-star recruit and McDonald’s All-American, he’s widely recognized for his versatile offensive game and high ceiling.
That player is Andrej Stojakovic, the son of former NBA sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic, whose blend of size, skill, and basketball IQ makes him a standout addition to Kentucky’s lineup.
Stojakovic began his collegiate career at Stanford, where he averaged 7.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game as a freshman. After transferring to California, he showcased his scoring ability, averaging 17.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game during his sophomore season. His impressive performance included a standout 30-point game against Clemson.
Kentucky head coach Mark Pope expressed excitement about adding Stojakovic to the team, highlighting his versatility and scoring prowess. “Andrej’s ability to score from various positions on the court will be invaluable to our offensive strategy,” Pope said. “We’re thrilled to have him join the Wildcats.”
The addition of Stojakovic is expected to bolster Kentucky’s perimeter game and provide depth to their wing positions. His experience in high-pressure games and his scoring ability will be assets as the Wildcats aim for a successful season.
Stojakovic’s commitment to Kentucky also reflects the program’s ongoing efforts to recruit top-tier talent. The Wildcats have been active in the transfer portal, seeking players who can contribute immediately and help elevate the team’s performance.
With the signing of Andrej Stojakovic, Kentucky strengthens its roster and adds a dynamic player who is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
