    The diverse skill-set of Svi Mykhailiuk Part 1:

    Three off of screens.

    Drives and finishes with the "wrong" hand.
    [​IMG]

    Pick and Roll, forces the big to commit, great pass to the roller.

    Pick and Roll again, finds the corner three off the over help.

    The diverse skill set of Mykhailiuk Part 2:

    Runs the whole length of the floor and presents a lob threat in transition.

    Rejects the screen and drives in for the reverse around the help defense.
    [​IMG]

    Goes up high for the rebound, pushes the ball himself, finds Hart in transition with the defense off balance.

    James Harden-esque

    This was all. in. one. game. This kid is absolutely legit.

    ^ so much patience on both of those PnR plays where he got the assist. This guy is a much better ball handler than I think any of us expected. I’m not saying he’s going to run the point or anything, but the guy has some legit playmaking skills.

    Any see a floater at all? I was wondering if he had one but I didn't see 100% of his play, maybe 50%. Would really round out his repertoire of shots. Then again with him, the perimeter may be his floater.

    He copied Harden's move really well.

    Dude is legit.

    Can create space, quick release, range, beautiful form. He's gonna thrive next to Bron, Ball and Rondo.

    All that seasoning playing against men at the age of 16-17 in Europe and then 4 years at a major college program in Kansas under a great coach in Self.

    He is a joy to watch. Same with Wagner!

    Would Huerter still be preferred to Svi now that we see what he can do?

    I think that’s tough to say without seeing Huerter play in summer league, but I don’t know if we could ask for a better pick at #47. The head scratcher remains Bonga to me. Based off summer league, if we were going to wait til 47 to take Svi, why not get Melton at 39, he’s looked very solid defensively.

    How about Divi, leaving aside his PG skills? "Best player available" between them based on Summer League so far? Especially with Svi's height, defense and the fact he can handle the ball too and create his own shot. Have not seen Divi play in SL.

    Ahh I see. Coming back from a "groan" injury. He looks like he's going to be a nice player.

    He reminds me more of Ginobili. Really crafty and shoots well off the dribble.
