Mississippi State men’s basketball just add a very intriguing player to its roster.

Slovenia-native Sergej Macura has committed to play for Mississippi State. The 6-foot-9, 21-year old is expected to enroll at Mississippi State later this summer.

Macura got the attention of the basketball world with a stellar performance in the 2023 U19 World Cup where he averaged 12.4 points on 48.7 FG%, 7.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists. In 18 games with Slovenia’s national youth team, he averaged 9.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He’s played twice for senior national team.

Most recently, he’s been playing in the Serbian national league for Mega MIS where he has received only limited playing time.
