Early life

Born in Cherkasy, Ukraine, Mykhailiuk's mother, Inna, is a high school biology teacher, and his father, Yuriy, is a college history professor.[1][2] He attended high school at Cherkasy First City Gymnasia.[3]

Returning to Kansas in his sophomore year, Mykhailiuk averaged 5.4 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game in 35 games of the 2015-2016 basketball season while hitting 40.2% of his three point shots.[3][6] On November 23, 2015, Mykhailiuk scored 18 points against Chaminade University.[3] In the first round of the 2016 NCAA basketball tourney, on March 17, 2016, Mykhailiuk scored 23 points, setting his personal college career scoring record, with 9 of 11 field goals and 4 of 5 threes against the Austin Peay Governors.[7]
