This guy can blow up like Rubio. Incredibly skilled, athletic and already 6-6.

He looks pretty damn good. And his name just rolls off the tongue.

Based solely on his name, he's going to fail.

Needs a pronounceable nickname before anything can be discussed.

Re: Introducing the Next Euro Phenom - Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk
There was a thread about this in the draft board and like I said there, as of right now I see him as a Marco Belinelli. He has great all around skills but he doesn't exactly excel at one thing, like Belinelli. In lower competitions Belinelli looked like Kobe too. This guy, I'm just gonna call him Myk for short, looks like a good athlete but not an exceptional one, and his skills aren't too standout.
The difference with him and Rubio is that Rubio had otherworldly court vision and passing skills at a young age. Myk has great all around skills, but it won't be enough at the next level, not like Rubio's court vision. And yes I'm aware he's only 16, but if we imagined we upped his sliders on his skills when he becomes eligible for the draft I still don't think it's enough to make him a great prospect.

Seriously did his parents just mash a keyboard when coming up with his name?

Truth hurts. My guess is that he'll end up having (below) average lateral quickness, strength and first step like pretty much any former/current white sg/sf i can think of. Right now his release is slow and his dribbling isn't the best but he has three years to correct that, so shouldn't be a problem. Also, we should keep in mind that european knees rarely are able to sustain that kind of play.
If all goes well i can see him becoming a brent barry type player, which is pretty good imo.

Not sure i agree. After watching the highlights, i looked him up. Apparently he is already 6'6, with extremely long arms, and huge hands, and to me, he definitely looked like an elite athlete. Not a freak, but in the next tier, definitely way above average. Much more explosive than Gallo was at that age for example. And it is very important that he is only 16, because he will not only get stronger, taller, but faster, and more explosive in the next couple years. He could also end up being 6'8 or 6'10. Those highlights are frankly amazing, ball handling, size, shooting mechanics, everything is there. The kid was shooting and making trademark Dirk fadeaways. How many 16 years old could do that? Without the athleticism, i would be a lot more skeptic (like in the case of Saric for example), but this kid is a great athlete, and will get even better.
