Here’s 2025 Brooklyn Nets #8 pick Egor Demin talking to the media last night about his passing/shooting ability.
(via ZH Highlights):
Brian Lewis: “You’ve been described by some as possibly the best passing teenager on the whole planet, but also a guy whose jumper is going to be kinda the swing skill that determines what his NBA future is like. Do you agree with that assessment? And in your mind, what are the things that you think you bring to a team and that you need to improve upon?”
Demin: “I’ll start from the start. Obviously, the passing is something that I was always doing, and this is who I am. This is who I’m trying to be. I believe in the game of basketball as a creative place where it’s like art for me, and I want to play beautiful. I want to play pretty. I want to play efficient. And for me, there’s never a sacrifice of something, sacrifice of myself for the team or something like this. It’s about making the right decision, which I’m always trying to do.
“Talking about shooting, it’s definitely something that obviously a lot of people talk about, and as you said, it can be both sides: good or bad. For me, I have no doubt I’m going to be a solid shooter and I’m seeing myself as a really good shooter in the future, just because I know how much I put into this, how much I put into the work to become one.”
