Honored coach of Russia Sergei Elevich told that if a player competes in the NCAA Egor Demine moves to one of the NBA clubs, it will be a significant success for Russian basketball.
The 18-year-old point guard plays in the NCAA for the BYU Cougars (Brigham Young University), where he played two games. During the meeting with Central Arkansas, the Russian scored 18 points, made 11 assists and 4 rebounds. In the game against the University of California, he had 20 points, made 7 assists and 5 rebounds.
Demin graduated from the Moscow Basketball Academy and Real Madrid.
— A very smart guy, Yegor Demin. I think he has a great future. If he enters the NBA, it will be a very important success for Russian basketball. And I think he could very well become an NBA player. He constantly proves himself a gifted basketball player. Egor will be a great reinforcement for the Russian team.
We have a lot of talent, so basketball in Russia is definitely not going to disappear. And our championship is very good. I have already said that I place it in second place after Spanish. We have good teams,” Elevich told .
