Arguably the best shooter in the class of 2023 has received a scholarship offer from Kentucky — and he’s the son of a three-time NBA All-Star.

Junior guard Andrej Stojakovic, son of 13-year NBA veteran Peja Stojakovic, earned the offer late Saturday evening.

The 6-foot-7 wing’s grassroots team, the Compton Magic (3SSB), announced the news.

Stojakovic is rated as a top-100 prospect in the junior class, with On3 listing him at No. 97 overall in the 2023 Player Rankings. He’s ranked No. 63 at Rivals and No. 103 at 247Sports.

The four-star guard’s father played in the NBA from 1998-2011, suiting up for the Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, New Orleans Hornets, Toronto Raptors and Dallas Mavericks. Stojakovic also played professionally overseas from 1992-98. He earned All-NBA Second Team honors in 2004 and was an All-Star from 2002-04, also winning the NBA Three-Point Contest twice (2002, 2003).

Stojakovic joins DJ Wagner, Robert Dillingham, JJ Taylor, Matas Buzelis, Justin Edwards, KJ Evans and Aaron Bradshaw to earn scholarship offers from Kentucky in the class of 2023.
