The Serbian-Greek hooper has whittled down his options to only three colleges: Stanford, Illinois and North Carolina. Now, it is up to the youngster to decide where he wants to pursue the remainder of his collegiate career.

Many programs were interested in Stojakovic, but Illinois and North Carolina have been chasing him from the start. Stanford, where Stojakovic had spent his freshman year, are also interested in bringing him back.

Discussing his next destination, college basketball fans had different opinions, with most of them wanting him to join the team that they support. However, some were skeptical of him joining Stanford again after he had an average freshman year there.

The Golden Bears needed double overtime to win against Virginia Tech in the first round of the ACC Tournament. They then crashed out of the tournament in the second round, as Stojakovic lost against his former team, Stanford.

Therefore, the 6-foot-7 high-scoring wing has entered the transfer portal with the idea of joining a competitive team that would help him in his development as a player.

He individually had a stacked season, averaging 17.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 42.7% from the field and 31.8% from beyond the arc. His numbers saw a massive improvement from his freshman year at Stanford.
