Tonight's game will have a big affect on Egor's draft stock for the next couple
months

Jonathan Givoy (one of the better NBA talent evaluators) recently dropped this article about the top prospects for the 2025 draft https://archive.is/uOs2b

This is what he had to say about Egor. "Which version of Egor Demin will we see vs. Providence?
BYU travels for its first true road game of the season, visiting Providence on Tuesday in a contest that will see several NBA executives in attendance.
Demin, No. 11 in ESPN's Top 100, will be looking to bounce back from fairly passive showings against Ole Miss and NC State this past weekend, looking more limited as a shot creator than in the softer portion of BYU's early schedule.
Demin's spectacular court vision and passing creativity pop every time he's on the floor, but he tends to play with the brakes on at times. Quite a few pro scouts will be watching to see how the projected top-10 pick continues to grow, as he clearly has a rare gift with his 6-foot-9 frame and unselfishness, but showing more of a willingness to put his imprint on games in key moments will be important moving forward. — Givony"

I don't disagree with anything said here. Egor is a great passer, but still needs to develop a sense of when to pass, and when to take over games if he wants to be a top 5 pick. That being said, I wouldn't mind if his draft stock fell a little bit. Getting picked in the top 5 almost guarantees that Egor is going to a bad organization. I'd rather he end up somewhere in the 7-14 range but that's just my opinion.

Either way, I'm sure KY knows that this is the current narrative around Egor and he'll scheme the offense tonight to give Egor more chances to score. I wouldn't be surprised if Egor had a huge night tonight.
