Making the case for Egor Dëmin

There are over 2,000 comments on my main takeaways from the Brooklyn Nets’ historic 2025 NBA Draft, during which they made a record five first-round picks, starting with Egor Dëmin at #8.

I called that particular selection “unfathomable” with the subtext, of course, being “unfathomably bad.”

We are now getting ready for the most anticipated Las Vegas Summer League in the history of franchise. Dëmin and his cohorts are no longer prospects, or even draftees. They are Brooklyn Nets, and deserved to be judged as such.

For a moment, consider Coby White and Jordan Poole, drafted #7 and #28 respectively in 2019.
