Stanford freshman Andrej Stojakovic, son of former NBA All-Star Peja Stojakovic, entered the men's basketball transfer portal on Tuesday.
Stojakovic was a top-25 recruit coming out of high school in the class of 2023, earning McDonald's All-American honors. He ranked No. 22 on the ESPN 100, jumping from outside the top 100 to near five-star status after a strong performance in the spring and summer before his senior year.
During his lone season in Palo Alto, Stojakovic averaged 7.8 points and 3.4 rebounds, shooting just under 33% from 3-point range. He started his career strong, with three double-digit scoring efforts in his first four games, but struggled with inconsistency the rest of the way. Stojakovic scored 16 points against Arizona and scored 20 points in February against USC.
Fellow freshman and top-50 recruit Kanaan Carlyle also entered the transfer portal on Tuesday. Carlyle averaged 11.5 points this season for the Cardinal.
Expect Stojakovic to be one of the portal's most sought-after players. When he committed to Stanford in November 2022, he chose the Cardinal over Texas, UCLA and Oregon.
His father, Peja, averaged 17 points in 804 NBA games. He was a three-time All-Star and won an NBA championship with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011.
Stanford is currently without a head coach since firing Jerod Haase shortly after the Cardinal's Pac-12 tournament loss to Washington State last week.
