Thomas Haugh has not decided where he will play next season, and Florida is already weighing what comes after him. The Gators forward can return to Gainesville for another year, but he is also being viewed as a 15-to-20 prospect in the 2026 NBA Draft.
If Haugh leaves, Florida could turn to Iowa State wing Milan Momcilovic, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound transfer ranked by 247 Sports as the No. 2 overall player in the portal. Momcilovic averaged 16.9 points per game this past season and shot 50.6 percent from the field, 48.6 percent from 3-point range and 87.8 percent from the free-throw line, while making 136 3-pointers and leading the country in 3-point percentage.
That kind of shooting would fill a clear need. Florida paired Boogie Fland with Denzel Aberdeen in the backcourt and is working to keep Alex Condon and Rueben Chinyelu in the frontcourt, but the Gators missed elite perimeter shooting last season. Outside of Urban Klavzar and Isaiah Brown, no other Florida player shot 34 percent from deep on at least 50 attempts.
Haugh gives Florida more than spacing. He is a high-motor, do-it-all player who defends at a high level, passes well for his position, and can score both behind the arc and inside the paint. Momcilovic brings a different profile entirely, as a knockdown shooter from deep who does not match Haugh’s rebounding or defensive value.
That leaves Florida with a straightforward offseason calculation: keep Haugh and preserve a versatile piece, or lose him and chase one of the best shooters in the transfer market. For now, the answer depends on Haugh, and the rest of the roster plan hangs on that decision.
