Majstorovic played a major role as a true freshman for Syracuse in his first Division I season, appearing in 31 of 33 total games on the year and defending some of the top players in the country. Setting a career high of 10 points against Pitt, Majstorovic averaged 2.6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game during ACC play, playing over 20 minutes in six league games despite not making any starts during his first season of college basketball. In Europe, Majstorovic averaged 9.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game across 34 games at ASVEL Basket Lyon-Villeurbanne in the French ProA U21 competition before making his way stateside.
Acker on Majstorovic:
"Petar has a high basketball IQ, built from both international experience and collegiate experience at the highest levels. He understands and is excited about the opportunity in front of him this season. We're looking forward to getting him on campus and getting him acclimated with our program."
Majstorovic is expected to be the final Division I transfer for the program, joining Demarshay Johnson Jr. in the frontcourt, both coming from elite programs and supplementing returning starter Derrick Michael Xzavierro and highly touted recruit Dallas Washington. Other Division I transfers for the Beach include guards Shaquil Bender from Manhattan, Grant Gondrezick II from Detroit Mercy, Isaiah Lewis from Little Rock, and Cole Farrell from Portland State.
