UCLA lands Kusturica, eyes 2028 No. 1 pick
TL;DR Summary
UCLA secured Serbia’s Nikola Kusturica for the 2026-27 season with a multiyear NIL agreement, positioning him as a top prospect for the 2028 NBA Draft; the 4-star, 17-year-old wing starred for FC Barcelona and Serbia (notably 37 points in the FIBA U17 World Cup final) and was viewed as UCLA’s top target over Michigan before Dusty May’s Mavericks hire shifted the recruitment, joining a Bruins class that aims to return to title contention.
