Russian point guard Egor Demin is playing his first season in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for the Brigham Young University team (BUY Cougars). In the first game, the 18-year-old Russian scored 18 points and 11 assists. His team beat Arkansas with a score of 88:50.
— How do you assess Yegor’s chances of becoming an NBA player in the near future?
— Let’s see, some predictions are not entirely premature, but there is no need to get ahead of ourselves. According to scouts, Yegor has a good chance of being selected in the lottery. Today the most important thing for him is good development. First, in the United States, it is the focus of NBA specialists and recruiters. Secondly, given the fairly wide choice of universities available to us, we chose a university with great ambitions and great opportunities. The BUY Cougars are going to build a new basketball program and a top NBA coach has arrived: Kevin Young. It includes all the criteria that NBA players must have. Young personally invited Yegor. It turns out that Brigham University scouts had been following his game for a long time,” Vladimir Demin told .
Previously, Egor Demin became a two-time winner of the Junior Euroleague as part of Real Madrid.
