ULAANBAATAR (Mongolia) - The FIBA 3x3 World Tour Ulaanbaatar 2026 will feature many of the biggest names in the game as elite talent descends on Mongolia's capital for another blockbuster stop on the professional circuit.
From reigning World No.1 stars to recent FIBA 3x3 World Cup heroes and emerging young talents, here are the players who could make the biggest impact in Ulaanbaatar.
Strahinja Stojacic (Ub SRB)
The World No.1 remains the gold standard in 3x3 basketball. Stojacic once again showed why he is the sport's premier player after helping Ub secure a podium finish at the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Amsterdam 2026 before leading Serbia to third place at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026. Capable of taking over games with his scoring, playmaking and trademark clutch gene, "Doctor Strange" will be determined to guide top-seeded Ub back to the winner's circle.
Andreja Milutinovic (Liman SRB)
When it comes to long-range shooting, few players strike fear into opponents quite like Milutinovic. The Serbian sniper recently helped Liman reach the Final at the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Vienna 2026 and played a key role in Serbia's bronze-medal run at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup. One of the deadliest two-point shooters on the Pro Circuit, Milutinovic can change a game in a matter of seconds whenever he finds his rhythm from beyond the arc.
Niklas Kropp (Skyliners GER)
Kropp's emergence has been one of the biggest stories of the 2026 season. The talented big man was instrumental in Germany's historic run to the FIBA 3x3 World Cup Final and has continued that momentum on the FIBA 3x3 World Tour with Skyliners, including a fourth-place finish in Amsterdam. Possessing size, athleticism and a rapidly expanding offensive arsenal, Kropp has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young stars in 3x3.
Maarten Bouwknecht (Amsterdam RABOBANK NED)
One of the most dynamic Dutch players continues to deliver on the biggest stages. Bouwknecht recently helped Amsterdam RABOBANK finish runners-up on home soil at WT Amsterdam, once again showcasing his elite combination of shooting and playmaking. Whether he's creating opportunities for teammates or burying difficult two-pointers, Bouwknecht remains one of the most complete offensive weapons on the World Tour.
Karlis Lasmanis (Shanghai CHN)
Few players arrive in Ulaanbaatar with more momentum than Lasmanis. The Latvian superstar produced a legendary campaign at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026, leading Latvia to their first-ever world title while earning tournament MVP honors. Now Lasmanis will look to transfer that success to the FIBA 3x3 World Tour and help Shanghai break through for its first title of the season.
Nauris Miezis (Ulaanbaatar MMC Energy MGL)
Miezis continues to prove why he remains one of the most feared players in the game. Fresh off helping Latvia capture the FIBA 3x3 World Cup crown, the dynamic playmaker heads into Ulaanbaatar brimming with confidence. His dazzling ball-handling, elite court vision and lethal two-point shooting make him a nightmare matchup for defenders and a constant highlight-reel threat.
Franck Seguela (Toulouse FRA)
The French superstar enters Ulaanbaatar with a chip on his shoulder. Seguela has not enjoyed the dominant season many expected, with Toulouse finishing seventh at WT Amsterdam while the French talisman missed the FIBA 3x3 World Cup entirely. However, the former FIBA 3x3 World Tour Final MVP remains one of the game's biggest stars and will be eager to remind everyone why he has long been considered among the elite.
Guim Expósito (DeQing CHN)
Expósito's resilience has been on full display in recent months. After Spain fell short in their bid to defend the FIBA 3x3 World Cup title, the versatile Spaniard responded by helping his national team secure qualification for the FIBA 3x3 Europe Cup 2026. He has also been a driving force behind DeQing's rise on the FIBA 3x3 World Tour, including a top-five finish in Amsterdam, and will be looking to continue that strong form in Mongolia.
With so much star power set to take the half-court, fans can expect plenty of highlights, drama and unforgettable moments at FIBA 3x3 World Tour Ulaanbaatar 2026.
