Where Egor Demin believes it fits into the NBA – Deseret News

In a little more than a month, Egor Demin will be an NBA design selection.

But where he ends in the league, an interesting puzzle has become in the design discourse.

As already reported by the Deseret News, Demin projected by experts that they are designed everywhere in the lottery until the end of the first round.

His NBA combination on performance – in particular its shootout – turned out to be strong, thickened the plot and transformed the Byu star into one of the most fascinating prospects of the year.

As far as Demin is concerned, he believes that because of his willingness and ability to take on any role and do what a team demands from him to end everywhere.

“You know that you have the chance to play the position of the Point Guard since I started playing basketball, being there and only having this experience in my hands, dealing with it, my advantage is that I can fit anywhere,” said Demin to “The Ringer's NBA Draft Show” podcast. “One of my friends called me a player's chatt just because I can be something. I think people use (use) the wrong way of thinking that I am a point Guard. No, I'm a playmaker.”

He continued: “I'm a playmaker, first of all, right? And I'm a ball handler. When I look at the NBA, tell me who is the Point Guard in Boston? Nobody. You can't say who plays Point Guard, you can only say the center right? You can only call out the big one.

“So I see myself everywhere. … to be able to be on the ball, to be from the ball, to be on the Pick -and -Roller, to be a screener, cut, roll, pimple and plug, stretch the floor, race, go into the low contribution, play out of the low post. Whatever it needs to be helpful and effective in the game.”

Here are some other highlights from Demin's appearance in “The Ringer's NBA Draft Show”.

About how the loss against Providence became a turning point in his season at BYU

“Obviously, the game against Providence, everyone started talking about us and not really positively. But this was the starting point for us to get better, and to recognize for me: 'Ok, now I see. So (better competition).' It was probably the best for me last season.

“As much as it was frustrating (to lose), I knew that it was good for me. Well, now I can say that. Obviously, I didn't really think at that moment:” Oh well, we lost. “

When learning from his sales and trying to become safer with basketball

“I think the scouting of other teams was a big deal for me.

“I really had to understand how the value of basketball and the value of every possession, right? For me it was important to see the games and see the sales. I can get myself into a bad situation that leads to sales, but sales are not just the passes they have lost. A team and especially me.

“… we spent a lot of time to see a film with (young), with the other coaches like Tim Fanning and film with players to really understand how we can make each other easier, because obviously … Communication between the players can prevent some of these sales.

“And here, you know, I am really grateful to my teammates. They were really ready to help me. To play with Trevin Knell, I would learn so much from him and from Richie (Saunders), of course only because, as you know, we tried to build this chemistry and we really tried to understand how we can be better.”
