Former Kansas Jayhawks guards Svi Mykhailiuk and Malik Newman will be playing for a title — the 2018 Las Vegas NBA Summer League crown — on Tuesday night.
Mykhailiuk, a second-round pick of the Los Angeles Lakers in the June 21 NBA Draft, scored a summer league personal-best 31 points on 12-of-20 shooting — he was 6-of-11 from three — while undrafted free agent signee Newman contributed four points in 12 minutes — in the Lakers’ 112-109 double-overtime victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Monday’s semifinals.
Former KU forward Billy Preston, an undrafted free agent who like Newman recently signed a two-way contract, scored 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting for the Cavaliers.
