Former Kansas guard Svi Mykhailiuk’s fellow NBA rookies voted him second-best shooter of all players selected in the 2018 NBA Draft in the annual rookie poll released this week at NBA.com.
The 6-foot-8 Mykhailiuk, who was selected in the second round by the Los Angeles Lakers, tied Kevin Huerter of the Atlanta Hawks. They each received 13 percent of the vote in the best shooter category while finishing behind former Oklahoma guard Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks (47 percent). Young placed first in a poll of 36 first-year players, which was conducted by NBA.com’s John Schuhmann at the annual NBA rookie photo shoot.
