Following potential 2015 draftees

Keep in mind he's just turned 17, and transitioned to the US mainly because of the threat of an Russian invasion to Ukraine that has turned sports very secondary over there.

Comparison: What Nik Stauskas is developing into with better defensive mindset. Very strong all around skillset/talent.

Some older footage, I think it's mostly from the Ukraine league, but since I can't read kyrillic and stuff it's hard to verify.

the problem is that he's shooting in the 30's or lower(FG) in pretty much every competition he's been in. On that one he's very very far from Stauskas... But I think he's probably a better passer and has better feel for the game, and better ballhandler probably... In general I don't think Stauskas is a good comparison.
 
Kanter's days are numbered here. The Jazz have to draft another Turkish player no matter what. If they don't, my Kanter only fan-hood will be exposed!
 
I think it's pretty telling that coach Self trusts a 17 1/2 year old Ukrainian who just moved this summer and is with a pretty good likelihood still adapting to culture and language besides basketball to play more minutes minutes than two top5 highschool recruits, namely the 19 year old Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre who turns 19 in two weeks.

Not saying they are weak or untalented or anything and I know that disciplinary reasons could be involved in their limited playing time. Just wanted to point out that currently Svi is more established in Kansas rotation.
 
Remember when Xthren/Gamer/Whoever he is now said he would give his left nut for Darius Miller?

Darius Miller effing blows.

Tainted goods.

Also remember when PKM said he was the most athletic UK player.

Tainted goods.
