Egor Demin

Draft Notes

A jumbo point guard from Russia who is very skilled with the ball in his hands and has a dominant physical profile for a point guard.

Is a great passer, ball-handler and solid shooter. Sees the floor well, has the size to see and pass over the defense and hits passes from all angles. A good one hand passer. Gets to his spots well.

Has really nice form on his jumper but is not yet consistent from downtown. Shows plenty of promise and is likely to be a good or league average shooter in time. Shoots over defenders well, using his size and quick release.

A very heady defender who reads passing lanes well and uses his length to swallow ball handlers.

Has solid athleticism and can finish above the rim. Moves very well for a 6-9 player.
