Learning more about Svi.  His full name is Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and he is Ukranian.

As to his shooting, it looks like he had an off season in TOR in 2021-22 (30.6% 3PT) but has in general been a very good shooter, career 36%.  I guess he will start as 3rd string, behind Hauser, but he may prove to be better than Hauser.  I think he will benefit from focusing on a limited role, do what he does best, don't try to do any more.

It depends how you define "very good".  36% is very slightly below average.  To me, average and very good aren't synonymous.

36% is his career.  He was 42% last season.  I think he will shoot closer to last season than his career.  We'll see.
