BYU Freshman Star Egor Demin Leaves Early, Enters 2025 NBA Draft
Egor Demin, a highly touted freshman, has shocked fans by announcing his early departure from Brigham Young University (BYU) to pursue an NBA career. The news was confirmed through multiple sources, including ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, who reported the story first.
Demin, a 5-star recruit in the 2024 class, was expected to be a top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and a lottery selection according to many pundits. Despite struggling with turnovers and shooting just 27% from three, Demin showed glimpses of his potential, averaging 10.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game.
In a press conference held earlier today, Demin confirmed that he has declared for the NBA Draft. With his departure, BYU must now focus on finding a new point guard to replace him. The university’s offseason will be crucial in addressing this vacancy.
