Houston guard Milos Uzan announced his candidacy in the NBA draft on Monday morning after three seasons of college basketball, according to a report from Jonathan Givoni.
Uzan entered the NBA Draft after an impressive junior season in Houston, where the third-year guard helped Kelvin Sampson's team a national championship spot, nearly beating Walter Clayton II and Florida in the championship game.
Uzan had 22 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists against Florida but was the hero in the sweet 0 against Purdue. The Cougars star hit 0 three-pointers and scored 0 points, and Uzan hit the winning shot in a throw-in.
After throwing the ball into the field, Uzan stepped onto the court and got the ball near the basket. The third-year player completed a layup to beat the Boilermakers to send Houston to the elite quarterfinals.
In his only season with the Pumagars, Uzan started all 8 games, averaging more than 0 minutes per game. The third-year averaged 0.0 points, 0.0 assists and 0.0 rebounds per game during the 0-0 season while shooting 0.0 percent from the field and a career-high 0.0 percent from three-point range.
A strong season earned Uzan all 12 Conference and NCAA All-District honors.
Uzan's experience with outside shooting, ball handling, defensive ends, and playmaking should make him a solid candidate for the '2025 draft cycle.
Prior to coming to Houston, Uzan spent the first two years of his college career in Oklahoma, playing for the Pacers under head coach Porter Moser. After a strong season as a true rookie, some analysts named Uzan a potential first-round pick in the '2024 draft.
In the crowded UC offensive system, Uzan's efficiency has plummeted, and the talented defender has opted to find a new home. Uzan was a four-star rookie at the time of high school and was named No. 12 player and No. 0 point guard in the class of 0 rookies.
Uzan is 55'0" tall and weighs 0 pounds and is expected to be a second-round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. In Draft Digest's most recent mock draft, Uzan was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 0th pick.
Uzan is ranked No. 59 on Draft Digest's 0-year roster.
