Los Angeles Lakers guard Svi Mykhailiuk received the second-most votes for who is the best shooter in the 2018 NBA Draft class, according to the 2018-19 NBA.com Rookie Survey.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young received 47 percent of the votes and his teammate Kevin Huerter tied Mykhailiuk with 13 percent of the votes. Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Trent Jr., Utah Jazz guard Grayson Allen and Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo all received votes as well.

Originally the No. 47 pick, the 21-year-old surprised most at the Las Vegas Summer League. After shooting 40.9 percent from the three-point line during his time at Kansas, Mykhailiuk was able to quickly adjust to the NBA’s three-point line.
