Egor Demin was a divisive prospect in the NBA Draft class of 2025. As a 6-foot-9 point guard with tantalizing floor vision and a magician's touch when it came to distribution, some viewed him as the ideal archetype to become the engine of an NBA offense. Others saw his lack of athleticism, poor shooting numbers, and buttered-popcorn ball handling, leaned back in their easy chairs and muttered, "Well that there just ain't gonna work in the NBA."
