Ege Demir (pronounced Egg-eh) committed to the Ducks Monday, a 6-10, 250 international player from Kaduna, Nigeria who has lived and played basketball in Turkey since he was 14.
He turns 21 on August 15. Still raw and learning the game, Demir is strong and broad-shouldered with a 7'3" wingspan. He's powerful around the rim and moves well on the pick-and-roll, a fierce shot blocker but as yet a liability at the free throw line, where he shoots 38%.
In the Turkish BSL and in European Tournaments, Demir plays against grown men and former NBA players.
