Svi Mykhailiuk voted second-best shooter in NBA Rookie Survey

In recent years, the Los Angeles Lakers have enjoyed great success finding talent late in the draft. While it might be a little early to call former Kansas University standout Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk a steal, he’s certainly looked the part thus far.

Through seven games at the NBA Summer League tournament in Las Vegas, the 21-year-old shooting guard averaged 10 points per game while draining 40.3 percent of his 87 total three-point attempts. The Klay Thompson comparisons are premature (and unfair), but he was shooting the lights out at the Thomas and Mack Center in July.
