Following some time overseas, Demin moved to the United States to play college basketball for BYU as a five-star recruit. In his one-and-done season, he earned Big 12 All-Freshman Team and All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors, averaging 10.6 points on 41/27/70 shooting, 5.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 27.5 minutes. Demin is a 6-foot-9 point-forward with some of the best passing in the draft. He has the vision, size and creativity to make almost every type of pass with accuracy and seems to prefer setting up his teammates rather than scoring. While Demin isn't a great jumpshooter, he is crafty around the basket and in the mid-range area with fakes and a soft touch. Defensively, he's at his best anticipating the offense, jumping into passing lanes and using active hands to generate steals and blocks. Demin projects as a floor general at the NBA level - someone who can organize the offense and set up his teammates. How far he can go beyond that will depend on his shooting development. His size will always be an advantage, however, and other players have made it work despite taking minimal three-point attempts. One thing is for sure - there are opportunities available in Brooklyn. The only players with defined roles are Cam Thomas, Michael Porter and Nic Claxton. Pretty much everything else is up for grabs, and it seems like Demin will be the team's starting point guard. He'll still have to fight off Nolan Traore and Ben Saraf - two other rookie guards - but Demin has the inside track. At the very least, he could offer solid assists and steals potential in Year 1. Demin sat out preseason action while recovering from a plantar fascia tear but is expected to be ready by Opening Night. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Egor Demin was born in Moscow, Russia and attended the Moscow Basketball Academy (Trinta School) until 2021 - impressing scouts and earning offers. In September of 2021, Demin inked a six-year contract with Real Madrid. He primarily played for the junior A team and Real Madrid B. With the latter in 2023-24, he averaged 15.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.1 steals with 42/19/73 shooting splits. Following that campaign, he moved to the United States to play college basketball for BYU as a five-star recruit. In his one-and-done season, he earned Big 12 All-Freshman Team and All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors, averaging 10.6 points on 41/27/70 shooting, 5.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 27.5 minutes.

His size will always be an advantage, however, and other players have made it work despite taking minimal 3-point attempts. Comparisons can be drawn to a player like Josh Giddey and Anthony Black.
ANALYSIS The Nets gave Demin the night off in Monday's loss to the Suns, but the team is clearing the rookie first-rounder for Wednesday's action. Demin is showing plenty of promise recently, averaging 14.1 points, 3.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 3.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per game over his last 14 outings while shooting 45.3 percent from deep.

Draws accolades from head coach
GBrooklyn Nets
January 9, 2026
Brooklyn head coach Jordi Fernandez had high praise for Demin for his clutch scoring in Wednesday's narrow overtime loss to Orlando, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS "Special players can do those things," Fernandez said. "As a 19-year-old rookie, he's able to make those shots in the fourth quarter... There's a lot we can work on with him because his ceiling is very, very high. The player that we believe he is. But there's something we can't teach. And it's those moments. And he has it." Demin is in the midst of an impressive stretch, posting averages of 13.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.3 three-pointers over his last three games.
