The Brooklyn Nets selected Egor Dëmin as the 8th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft due to his high basketball IQ, versatility as a 6’8″ combo guard, and defensive skills, despite concerns about his outside shooting. Initially struggling at BYU with a knee injury, Dëmin thrived in his rookie season, shooting 38.5% from three on high volume. His role evolved alongside fellow rookie Nolan Traore, showcasing strong passing abilities. At just 20, Dëmin is expected to continue improving as he gains experience.
