Milan Momcilovic Set to Rain Threes Like It’s His Day Job

After leading college basketball with a staggering 48.7 percent three-point clip and setting an Iowa State program record with 136 makes, Milan Momcilovic is gearing up for life in Kentucky’s three-point extravaganza. New coach Mark Pope has greenlit the 6-foot-8 forward to hoist around ten triples per game, banking on his lockdown shooting and off-ball movement. Momcilovic admits that hitting double-digit threes nightly is a tall order against well-prepped college defenses, but he believes Pope’s free-flowing scheme will create enough open looks. With trust firmly placed in his shooter’s hands, the stage is set for Momcilovic to shatter shooting records again—this time in blue and white.

In a move that screams “extreme threes,” Kentucky has essentially handed Milan Momcilovic the keys to a high-velocity jukebox of jumpers. It’s like giving a toddler a loaded ice cream truck and saying, “Go nuts, but don’t melt down.” We can only imagine defense coordinators across the SEC quivering as they draw up blitzes to stop a man whose catch-and-shoot range might actually stretch to another ZIP code. Of course, ten triples per game from one guy is akin to asking your barista for ten shots of espresso in a latte—ambitious, possibly regrettable, but undeniably entertaining. Grab your popcorn, because this is one three-point party that even the referees won’t want to break up.
