Egor: "A Draft Darling"
More great press on Egor from the key national guy at 247 (Travis Branham):

You always question how an international player will adapt and adjust in the United States but Egor Demin has come in and is taking Provo by storm.

The 6-foot-8 Russian looks to be in the same category as homegrown stats Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper in what is a stacked and exciting freshmen class.

Demin is averaging 17.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game while shooting 55.0% from three on five attempts per contest Granted, BYU has had a cakewalk schedule through four games but the numbers are staggering and the talent is eye-popping.

Every year, you hear hype about a "6-foot-8 point guard" and it's almost always fool's gold but in Demin's instance, it appears to be real. His ability to create off the bounce, see the floor, pass off the live dribble, get to his spots, and score with skill at his size makes for must-see TV.

BYU won't have its first power conference game until Nov. 28 against Ole Miss but Kevin Young looks to have a special one in Demin.
