As the news broke, On3\u2019s Pete Nakos reported that Momcilovic\u2019s value is just north of $6 million. That report was seconded by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KySportsRadio\/status\/2061630951415750801\" rel=\"nofollow\">KSR\u2019s Matt Jones<\/a>, who said he heard it would be around $6.5 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Momcilovic will still be one of the highest-paid players in college basketball, but it looks like the Wildcats got somewhat of a bargain compared to what some media members were reporting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The 6-foot-8, Wisconsin native was rumored to be making around $2 million at Iowa State last season, so it\u2019ll be about a $4-4.5 million dollar increase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This was truly the Wildcats\u2019 biggest win of the offseason, by a long shot. Pope loaded the roster with solid depth, length, and high-motor players, but Momcilovic will be the difference-maker in 2026-27. Coming off a season where he averaged 16.9 points ppg on 50.6% shooting from the field and 48.7% from 3-point range, the Wildcats finally got their guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In recent weeks, the rumored NIL value for Momcilvic was around $7.5-$8 million, but the Wildcats didn\u2019t have&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":750224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3723],"tags":[7,217,38124,244,245,231,772,1544],"class_list":["post-750223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-basketball","tag-basketball","tag-college-basketball","tag-kentucky-wildcats-basketball-news","tag-kentucky-wildcats-basketball","tag-kentucky-wildcats-mens-basketball-recruiting","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-basketball","tag-ncaab"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116678602505600793","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/750224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
