The final piece of Seton Hall basketball's 2026-27 roster is in place, and it's someone to provide insurance at the point guard position.
Mihailo Petrovic, who was a reserve for Illinois last season, will join the Pirates as their summer workouts already are underway.
Here are three things to know about him.
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound Petrovic hails from Serbia and represented that country at the international level on its Under-16 and Under-20 squads before making a cameo with the senior national team during qualifying for the 2025 European Championships. Prior to coming to Illinois, he averaged 14.2 points and 7.3 ******* ists in the Adriatic League, a pro-ball league consisting of clubs in the nations that once comprised Yugoslavia.
Petrovic was brought to Illinois as part of a wave of Eastern European imports last offseason by coach Brad Underwood. He was viewed as a possible starter at point guard, but his role diminished as the season went on and Keaton Wagler burst onto the scene as a lead guard superstar. Petrovic wound up averaging 1.6 points and 1.1 ******* ists in 5.7 minutes, shooting 33 percent from the field and just 2-of-10 from 3-point range.
