The Lakers Got Their Own Splash Brother – Svi Mykhailiuk

With their 47th pick in this year’s NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Svi Mykhailiuk instead of LiAngelo Ball.

After watching footage of LiAngelo’s draft workout, where he went 4/16, and even hit the side of the backboard, on open threes, without being defended, this didn’t come as too big of a surprise. Then, after seeing Mykhailiuk in the summer league it was obvious that he was the right choice and may even be underrated.

This was confirmed after a recent workout video where Svi went on a shooting spree, he went two straight minutes without missing an attempt from 3-point range, draining 20 straight in breakdown drills which isn’t normal. It seems like the Lakers got their own splash brother.
