Two Iowa State Cyclones are taking their talents to the next level, as Joshua Jefferson and Milan Momcilovic have both received invitations to the NBA Combine. This is a huge moment for the program, showcasing the depth of talent coming out of Ames.
Jefferson, a second-team All-American, was nothing short of dominant this season. His presence on the court was a game-changer, and his absence during the NCAA tournament due to injury was deeply felt by the team. With his college eligibility now exhausted, Jefferson is fully focused on making an impression at the combine and securing a spot in the NBA.
Momcilovic, meanwhile, has been a sharpshooter for the Cyclones, earning All-Big 12 honors and establishing himself as the best three-point shooter in the country. Interestingly, he still has one year of college eligibility remaining, but he has left the door open to return—though not with Iowa State. This makes his combine invite even more intriguing, as it could be his ticket to the professional ranks or a chance to boost his stock for a future draft.
For fans of the Cyclones and college basketball alike, this is a testament to the program's ability to develop elite talent. Whether they're in the stands or gearing up in their favorite Iowa State gear, this is a story that reminds us just how far hard work and dedication can take you.
