Momcilovic 3 off the back iron.

Dang. I hadn't heard that he missed! This changes everything.

Young man would appear to have been shown some Dirk Nowitzki tape at an impressionable age.
Don't forget the GOAT also made it a staple in his arsenal in the back half of his career.

I have a feeling even though he's 6-8 he'll be more of a shooter in college than low post bucket getter. For those who remember this guy from UCLA, my comp would be Jason Kapono. Also would be content if the net results were the same. I imagine Milan would too

I'm as high on Milan as I've been for any HS recruit since Monte. I think he's an star from day 1. So much so that I think he leads us in scoring next year (unless we bring in an absolute stud SG transfer)

His game has an uncanny resemblance to Georges as well
I don't see that at all. The thing that stood out about Georges was his uncanny ability around the basket with his variety of moves and ability to get the shot off and score against taller opponents from seemingly impossible angles. I see none of that from Momcilovic. I see a scorer but in a different way than Georges did it. About the only similarity I see is they can both hit the three. Georges was more of a distrubutor too. He was like a point forward. I could see TJ weaning Momcilovic off those fade away jumpers from 15 feet or further out. That's usually not a high percentage shot.

I can kind of see the Georges comparison. Different players, but definitely crafty in creating space. Great shooter and can finish around the rim despite not having great hops.

Looks like he can be a great college player. Would be great to have him on this year’s team to help with scoring. Athleticism doesn’t jump off the screen but has great length. I see an eventual path to the NBA as a 3pt sniper and a good defender after spending time in Kyle Green’s system.
