Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk isn't done with the college game just yet, as the standout guard announced Wednesday he's withdrawing from the NBA draft and will play his senior season at Kansas.

The 6-foot-8 sharpshooter scored 9.8 points per game last season, connecting on 40 percent of his shots from beyond the arc. He also chipped in with three rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest for the Big 12 champions.

The Ukrainian-born Mykhailiuk was ranked 69th on the DraftExpress top 100 for the 2017 class - a ranking that should rise significantly with a strong senior season for the Jayhawks.

With Devonte Graham also returning, and highly-touted transfer Malik Newman eligible for next season, Kansas appears to be in great shape for another run at the conference title.
