Summary:
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk is an athletic, skilled swingman that is projected to be a second round pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
Mykhailiuk has great size to play out on the wing, and he can easily shoot over most defenders to knock down jumpers from anywhere on the court. Plus, he can really get out on the break, as he can rise up to throw down dunks in transition.
While he may not have been ready to contribute much to Kansas as a freshman, Mykhailiuk played well in limited minutes as a sophomore, as his performance last year could be enough to suggest that he can make a big step towards being a major contributor for his team this year.
He will need to show teams that he can also be a consistent performer as well. Regardless, Mykhailiuk is a talented prospect that could end up being a better player in the NBA than he has been in college.
