LAS VEGAS — If Svi Mykhailiuk is on the floor, he is a threat. At the Lakers’ Las Vegas Summer League opener, Philadelphia learned that he must have a defender on him at all times.
Using his lighting release, textbook mechanics and basketball IQ, the 47th-overall pick scored 17 points — shooting 6-of-11 from the field and 4-of-8 on 3-pointers — to help guide the Lakers to a 96-79 rout.
Mykhailiuk drained some wicked shots against the 76ers, including a step-back out of pick-and-roll, a one-dribble pull-up and three transition 3-pointers.
Impressive opening minutes for Svi Mykhailiuk.
