Egor Demin scouting report

Watched some full game footage of Real Madrid U18. Here’s my thoughts on Demin:

  • He's a true point guard.  He is without question Real Madrid's primary ball handler and is most comfortable when he has the ball in his hands.  This kid is a 1 folks.  Get used to KY going positionless basketball and multiple PG's/guards on the court a ton.
  • Forget all the wing/4 talk. His skill set is far more akin to LaMelo Ball than he is Andrei Kirilenko.  Can guard 1-4 but on O this kid is best as a ball handler.
  • No question in my mind this kid views himself as a primary ball handler and dreams of being a PG at the NBA level.
  • Kid excels as a ball handler in transition, either as a decision maker or finisher.  We are going to play FAST.
  • Very good ball handler and decision maker in pick and roll.
  • Inconsistent shooter at this stage but has the potential to become a very good shooter.  Most comfortable shooting off the dribble but can catch and shoot as well. Can shoot with range.

Make no mistake, BYU now has 3 PG's with Demin, Hall, Crawford. Positionless, fast paced modern ball with multiple guards on the court together is coming in a big way.  This is going to be FUN.

Based on what I've watched, this quick reel is the best summary of Egor's skill set that I've seen:
