egor demin looked good in his debut.He can be our luka
Devin was actually a sop re drafted at 19.
I should have phrased my reply as ‘most years’, instead of the more declarative ‘pretty much every year’, which is more open to misinterpretation when you see the words ‘every year’ grouped together.

Can he shoot? Don’t want to even hear about him if the answer is no.

From this website >>>> NBA Draft Scouting Report: BYU's Egor Demin
Prospect Profile
A jumbo creator, Demon has a fascinating game that projects to translate well to the NBA. His style is more smooth than it is quick or explosive, but he’s very effective playing that way. Demin’s size and fluidity are what make him pop, given at 6-foot-8 he’s the size of a wing and will play a lot as a small forward at the NBA level, but he possesses guard skills.
When catching in the mid-range, Demin is extremely crafty. He doesn’t have to use dribble moves to generate a good look — instead, he leverages great footwork and crafty ball fakes along with an ability to rise up over defenders and his shots while fading. He’s an advanced shotmaker for his age and has legitimate self-creation upside.
Again, although he’s the size of a wing, the guard skills are evident. In fact, there’s reason to believe Demin could play guard minutes at the next levels and lead an offense for long stretches. It’s still unclear what his full-time position projects to be in the NBA, but that’s okay because versatility is a good thing. The upside as a primary creator and facilitator is certainly there if it's needed wherever he lands.
Demin is still developing his 3-point shot, but is making progress. The more he’s able to knock down those looks, the more his mid-range and driving game will open up. It will also allow him to be more effective off-ball, further enhancing his versatility.
Demin looks like Luka-lite
20131 would definitely be ours!!!
I already miss when we were mocked to get Liam McNeeley and Egor Demin. Even though we are still mocked in that area, I feel like they are both going to move up because I like them.
The answer is maybe.
Last season, he played a combined 36 games in an European U18 league, a Spanish U19 league and a low level senior Spanish league. In these 36 games, he was a total of 62-201 behind the arc (30.8%).
Some people are labeling him as a bad shooter because they are only using the European U18 league stat. He played 8 games in that league and was an atrocious 8-43 (18.6%) from 3.
At the end, what will really matter is what he will do this year at BYU, but he isn't a non-shooter.
Thank you for the insight!
I like Demin on the Spurs alot. Obviously, it's way to early to say if he's our guy, but he's got alot to like.
If we're going with Castle and Devin as future guards, we need two wing archetypes.
One as close as possible to Luka, which obviously won't happen, but someone at least 6'6 who can both create and shoot.
And one elite shooter with enough size and mobility so he's not a negative on defense.
Sounds exactly like McNeeley and Demin =)
damnit, Ace Bailey is out for tonight's game due to an undisclosed injury. i was looking forward to his debut. harper will play though.
I meant in point forward sense.
If we assume our future core is Castle, Devin, Jeremy and Wemby, we'll need another perimeter creator unless Wemby becomes KD or Devin takes another step.
If they do, then we'll need that player off the bench.
With those 4 in starting lineup, defense will probably be stellar, but as you can see from our current struggles, we desperately need triple threat players.
Or at least a high volume 3pt shooting forward. That's why I wanted Markkanen badly.
They were even projected to the Spurs at #8 and #9 before the season started.
I think the best version of Castle will come as a high usage on ball guard, I don't know if pairing him with a Luka type would be ideal.
Add to PG Castle, 1st option Wemby and third on ball creator Vassell and I think the best fit to those three and non-shooter Sochan would be more in line with a Klay Thompson than a Luka.
Agreed...if those players develop to their best versions.
This is all hypothetical, but after the draft I said that we're building ourselves Bucks 2.0.
Castle is as close as a prospect can be to Jrue, Wemby is obviously not Giannis but there are some similarities and Devin's career trajectory so far has been near-identical to Middleton's if we're looking at the stats.
Jeremy can be a way better version of PJ Tucker with a worse shot.
In that ideal scenario, we get ourselves a Klay and we're good to go if we're talking starting lineup.
I shouldn't have said Luka, but he was the first thing that came to mind because Demin also played for Real.
Ballhandler with size, can even be a 6th man.
I'm very high on Egor Demin, since he's one of the few players I've already watched tape on. Would definitely be a nice fit.
McNeely playing right now on FS1
I think I'd be happy if they look at wings generally (who can shoot the piss out of the ball), and I think somewhere in the list of needs is a back up centre.
We've seen a lot of games of Embiid and Jokic in the playoffs where their teams win their minutes, but get destroyed with them off the court. Moving that from a huge per minute loss to a small one with a better back up big is valuable long term. If Chicago or Charlotte conveys, I'd be interested in Rocco / Khaman Maluach / some other C that pops. Other ways to get something like that (FA, trade, etc) but I think that's somewhere in the list of needs.
We'll probably also see other guys pop - Reed wasn't anywhere close to a lottery pick at this point last year, clearly that changed.
sad that I’m missing it right now. Quick look at the stats and I have to remind myself that he’s playing within a system and won’t be a main focus. 4 players on the team in double digit points already.
