Nikola Kusturica, a 17-year-old wing for FC Barcelona's U-18 team, has attracted interest from Gonzaga, Kentucky, and other prominent college basketball programs. Kusturica is considered a top prospect for the 2028 NBA Draft following impressive performances, including 20 points and 10 rebounds in the EuroLeague championship. With Gonzaga facing roster gaps, Kusturica’s fit with the Bulldogs is viewed as advantageous; he could contribute in a bench role before potentially starting in his second year. He is preparing to represent Serbia at the FIBA U-17 World Cup later this month in Turkey.
