Russian point guard for the BYU Cougars (Brigham Young University) Egor Demin said that he tries to focus on team success rather than personal achievements.

Earlier, 18-year-old Demin was named the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Big 12 Conference Rookie of the Week for the second time in a row.

“I am very pleased to hear that people enjoy watching me play, but I try to focus as deeply as possible on the process of my own and the team’s development.

We have big goals for this season, and now is not the time to enjoy ourselves, since the main matches are still ahead - as well as a lot of work on all aspects of the team's game, - "Championship" quotes Demin as saying.

Demin is a graduate of the Moscow Basketball Academy and Real Madrid.
