Stanford loses son of ex-NBA sharpshooter to transfer portal

The Stanford Stojakovic era is coming to an end.

Jeff Goodman of ESPN reported on Tuesday that rising sophomore guard Andrej Stojakovic has entered the transfer portal. The son of retired multi-time NBA All-Star Peja Stojakovic, Andrej played his freshman year with Stanford.

A top-25 recruit as well as a McDonald’s All-American coming out of high school, the younger Stojakovic averaged 7.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game at Stanford last season. He has great size for a wing at 6-foot-7 and also started ten games as a freshman.

Stojakovic's decision last year to commit to a middling Stanford program was met with some skepticism. That turned out to be justified with the Cardinals going 14-18 and moving to fire head coach Jerod Haase after his eight seasons in charge. 

Stanford is also joining a new conference next season, but Stojakovic will not be sticking around for that.
