…disagree with it. NBA analyst Matt Babcock said, “Though Demin’s build and athleticism differ from Steve Nash’s, his approach—court vision, facilitating, shooting prowess, and assertiveness off the dribble—reminded me of Nash’s game. It’s beautiful basketball and a joy to watch.”

He said he had Demin at #8 on his board but after Egor’s debut he’s now wondering if he shouldn’t be higher. He also spoke highly about Catchings and among his comments said, “Last night, his defensive performance caught my eye—he got low in his stance, was active on the perimeter, and disrupted several shots. With his length and athleticism, Catchings has the potential to be a versatile defender, able to switch and cover multiple positions.”

In closing he said, “Overall, my trip to BYU was incredibly productive. I went in with high hopes for Demin and Catchings, and I'm leaving town even more optimistic about their futures. I can't wait to see how this season unfolds for these two, and the entire BYU team—head coach Kevin Young has the program in an exciting place.”
