I kept “virtual assists” as a young coach BEFORE NBA did. These were passes that led to a great shot, made or missed, or a two shot foul. It rewarded smart play I re-watched the @BYU tape again. @whoisegor3 had THIRTY-THREE of these in his debut. Predicting he has a 20 assist… https://t.co/6YTIgOgbvy

⁦@BYUMBB⁩ 6-9 freshman guard @whoisegor3 Demin is as good as advertised. Dropped 18 points & had 11 assists in his debut. Some of these passes are magical and some are just simple basketball plays. pic.twitter.com/c6sv4VUEu0

Guys, the Egor Demin tape is insane vs. Central Arkansas. This is a serious top-five pick contender. This is just the FIRST HALF of his passes for BYU. Ended the game with 17 points and 11 assists. Honestly could have had 18+ assists easily. pic.twitter.com/KmBcBsr287

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. pic.twitter.com/ygxuRlBRCz

The Daily!

Seems Cooper Flagg might have competition as the nation’s top freshman. @BYUMBB has a star in Egor Demin.

Plus:
• Tuesday’s other results to know
• Mid-major scoring stars
• @SaintLouisMBB preps for Avila’s absence

I was in Provo last night to see BYU’s Egor Demin and Kanon Catchings make a statement in their season opener!

From Demin’s spectacular playmaking to Catchings’ versatility, these two are shaping up as serious NBA prospects.

Egor Demin is the next UNICORN of CBB 🦄

6’9” PG with equal absurdity in his passing & scoring capabilities. Expect his usage rate to be among the highest in the sport throughout the season.

Still early, but new HC Kevin Young seems to have hit big on his international… https://t.co/x01VnyFq23 pic.twitter.com/E6IEAO7Znb
