The junior will have until May 25 to decide one way or another about staying the draft, so long as he remains unrepresented professionally.
A native of Belgrade, Serbia, the 6-foot-11 Jovanovic averaged 12.1 points and seven boards per game this year for the Trojans, helping them reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2011.
