The hype for BYU's freshman point guard is quickly building.
After BYU ’s 88-50 win over Central Arkansas this week, the freshman point guard has been showered with praise from pundits across the country.
“I can’t say I was focusing on some exact thing,” the 19-year-old said. “I was just trying to be effective and stay physical since it’s my first game in the NCAA. I was just trying to be myself and enjoy the game.”“I didn’t know that, actually,” he said afterward. “This is something I’m doing all the time. I’m not saying that I’m doing history. I’m saying I like to pass the ball.
Another college basketball analyst at The Athletic, CJ Moore, believed Demin could be one of the country’s assist leaders this year. Three freshmen have led college basketball in assists. I'd bet BYU's Egor Demin becomes the fourth. Had 11 in his debut. Every pass is on target and with touch. Sees everything. Controls the defense with his eyes. Shot is pretty too. Just an awesome talent.ESPN’s NBA draft guru, Jonathan Givony, has Demin high on his draft board at the moment. He was impressed by his scrimmage tape.
