Stojakovic’s expected departure along with Jeremiah Wilkinson’s transfer to Georgia significantly hurt the Golden Bears’ basketball program.

Stojakovic was just a sophomore this past season in his first year in Berkeley after transferring from Stanford, and Wilkinson was just a freshman in 2024-25, when he averaged nearly 20 points a game after being moved to the starting lineup for the final 14 games of the season.

Stojakovic, the son of former NBA standout Peja Stojakovic, finished sixth in the ACC in scoring this past season. Besides his 17.9 points per game, he averaged 4.7 rebounds and blocked 34 shots. He shot 42.7% from the field and 31.8% on three-pointers.

He scored 30 points or more twice this past season, including a career-high 37 points in the Bears’ final game of the season, a 78-73 loss to Stanford in the ACC tournament.

Stojakovic had made significant improvement from his freshman season at Stanford in 2023-24, when he averaged 7.8 points while starting 10 of the 32 games in which he played.

The 6-foot-7 Stojakovic was a high school McDonald's All-American coming out of Jesuit High School in Sacramento.

At the moment it appears that none of the top four scorers from Cal's 14-19 season in 2024-25 will be with the next next season.

Besides Stojakovic and Wilkinson, Cal scholarship players BJ Omot, Joshua Ola-Joseph and Devin Curtis have entered the transfer portal.

So far Cal and coach Mark Madsen have added six players from the transfer portal for next season -- Delaware transfer John Camden, Michigan transfer Justin Pippen, Campbell transfer Nolan Dorsey, Virginia transfer Dai Dai Ames, Grand Canyon transfer Sammie Yeanay and Loyola-Maryland transfer Milos Ilic.
