Kentucky Basketball is reportedly pursuing Serbian prospect Nikola Kusturica, a 6-foot-9 wing seen as a potential lottery pick in the 2028 NBA Draft. While Gonzaga was previously considered the favorite due to their immediate need, a recent prediction from 247 Sports suggests Kentucky is gaining traction in Kusturica’s recruitment. He excelled at the 2025 FIBA U16 EuroBasket Tournament, averaging 20 points and earning MVP honors. Kusturica, who just turned 17, is expected to play two college seasons before entering the NBA.
