Egor Demin

Egor Demin (G | 203 cm | ’06) ~ Real Madrid

Played reserved in the group phase but stepped up in the final day with two great performances. He was one of the best players in Real’s team in the semifinal and final match and showed why he is one of the most talented players in his generation. Can play on all three positions on perimeter and uses his size advantage well in creating shots for himself or his teammates. His basketball IQ and decision making is really high, plays somehow at his own pace but is still making difference. His spot up shooting has improved and he was 9/24 (37.5%) from deep at this tournament.

Egor Demin (G | 200 cm | ‘06) ~ Russia

12.2 pts, 2FG-60.0%, 3FG-30.2%, FT-66.7%, 4.0 rebs, 2.0 ast, 2.2 stl, 3.6 to, 0.4 blks

Egor can play on all positions on perimeter but is best used as an initiator. Very fluid as a ball handler, has the ball under control and makes quick and good decisions. Showed some good pick & roll game where he is able to spot all players on the floor which isn’t usually the case with players at this age. Has great passing touch and delivered some precise one handed live passes and also made some no look passes in tight spaces. His shooting percentages were poor but has a smooth release and I believe he shouldn’t have much problems with scoring in the future. Has more to improve on the defensive end but has the tools and basketball knowledge to be a good defender too. Looking at his body I would say that he hasn’t stopped growing and he is definitely a player with high long term potential.
