We've seen the sons of several NBA stars rise to prominence over the last few years. Bronny James and Kiyan Anthony are likely the first two to come to mind, one already in the NBA playing alongside his father. Anthony is set to begin his college career at Syracuse, where his rather won a national championship back in 2003.

There's a lot of discussion about other high school prospects like Cameron and Cayden Boozer, but one son of a former NBA star is drawing a lot of interest in this year's transfer portal.

Former Stanford and Cal forward Andrej Stojakovic is in the transfer portal, and at least seven programs have interest in the son of a former NBA All-Star.

According to CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein, North Carolina, Florida, Gonzaga, USC, Washington, Cincinnati and Illinois are all interested in Stojakovic.

Last season at Cal, Stojakovic led the team with 17.9 points per game, started 28 of his 29 appearances and earned All-ACC honors as an honorable mention. He played at Stanford as a freshman, putting 7.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game on roughly 41% shooting.

Stojakovic has already visited with Illinois, but the other programs represent different opportunities for him. He can stay on the west coast with teams like Gonzaga, Washington and USC, facing a higher level of competition in the Big Ten if he were to choose the Trojans or the Huskies.

He could stay in the ACC with North Carolina, a team that will always draw in top talent due to its history and pro pedigree. Stojakovic could also join Florida, who just won the national championship for the third time in program history.

Andrej's father Peja was a three-time All-Star, known for his outside shooting ability with teams like the Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Hornets. Stojakovic played with stars like Chris Webber, Chris Paul, David West and Tyson Chandler throughout his career.

He ended his NBA tenure in 2011, retiring after winning a championship in his lone season with the Dallas Mavericks. We'll see what the future holds for Andrej, but if it's as bright as his father's, big things are on the horizon.
