After averaging 17.9 points per game in his sophomore season with the California Golden Bears, 6-foot-7 wing Andrej Stojakovic has entered the NCAA transfer portal for the second time in his college career. Stojakovic led the team in scoring while posting 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game, drawing attention from several elite college basketball programs.
Duke as a Potential Destination
One of those programs is Duke, with several outlets listing the Blue Devils as frontrunners for the Cal transfer. Duke fans are excited about the possibility of Stojakovic joining the team, with some calling for the program to “pay him whatever it takes.”
Why Stojakovic Would Be a Good Fit
Landing a proven scorer like Stojakovic would be a timely solution for Duke’s production and experience needs. With freshman Cooper Flagg expected to declare for the NBA draft and standout first-year player Kon Knueppel already declaring to leave the program for the pros, the Blue Devils could use a plug-and-play scoring option.
Roster Transition
Duke has faced several roster challenges recently, including the departure of veterans Mason Gillis and Sion James, who have exhausted their eligibility, and the decommitment of five-star recruit Shelton Henderson earlier this month. If Duke is indeed the destination, it would reunite the Blue Devils with a long-standing target and provide them with much-needed scoring depth.
