After the Nets saw their 23-point lead shrink to one in Wednesday’s Summer League game against the Orlando Magic, the rookie guard, standing at 6-8, drained three 3-pointers in the final 2:36 — two from the right corner and one in transition from the left wing — to secure their first Summer League victory.

At around 6-foot-9, Demin is a legitimately oversized handler, and likely the best passer in the class. He has real guard skill in a lengthy frame, but has a ways to go in honing his scoring game in general. Across his time in college, he averaged just 10.6 points on 41% shooting overall, cashing in on just 27% of his 4.7 threes attempted per game.

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin chose to wear the number 8 on his jersey and he explained why during his time in the Las Vegas Summer League.
