Egor Demin and an exciting breakthrough for the Brooklyn Nets

Patience is necessary, building little by little and looking towards the long term. They know this well at Brooklyn Nets, aware that Jordi Fernández is the right man to lead a team where Egor Demin stands as the basic pillar around which to build a future-contending team.

Egor Dëmin compared to other NBA rookies:

• Higher true shooting percentage (54 percent) than VJ Edgecombe, Ace Bailey, Dylan Harper, Jeremiah Fears.

• 4th highest assist percentage, behind only Ryan Nembhard, Dylan Harper, Derik Queen (min. 20 MPG)

• T-2nd in 3PM per game,…

The maneuver carried out by Brooklyn Nets in the NBA Draft 2025 was risky, with five selections trusting that one of them would emerge as a budding star. It cost them in the early moments of the season, but Egor Demin seems to have found the rhythm and confidence needed to demonstrate his worth. He has scored in double figures in four consecutive games now, with a significant impact across all team parameters.

Egor Dëmin over his last 4 games:

17 PTS | 3 REB | 3 AST | 6/8 FG | 2 STL | +20 +/-

14 PTS | 2 REB | 1 AST | 5/18 FG | -5 +/-

16 PTS | 5 REB | 3 AST | 6/10 FG | 2 STL | +24 +/-

20 PTS | 2 REB | 5 AST | 6/11 FG | 5/9 3P | +5 +/-

This has improved the team's defensive performance, which in December stands at 102.8, a stark contrast to the 128.5 they had in the early games. The feelings are getting better and better, Michael Porter Jr could be a player from whom they obtain important contributions to surround Egor Demin, who looks to become the reference player.

After last night's performance, the Nets have overtaken the Thunder for the NBA's best defensive rating in December.

Brooklyn has a 102.8 defensive rating this month. That's a 25.7-point improvement compared to their 128.5 rating during their 0-7 start.

Incredible turnaround.
