Nets' Egor Demin explains one area he's trying to improve upon

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin is heading into a 2025-26 NBA season in which he'll have to prove that he was worth the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Demin had some concerns surrounding his shooting coming into the Las Vegas Summer League, but he has quelled those doubts for now.

He has other matters that he's trying to address."I think I might spend more time in the lifting room than on the court.

Being honest, this is exactly where I'm focusing right now," Demin said in an interview during Friday's 87-83 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in the summer league.

Demin did not participate in the game as the Nets were looking to evaluate other players on the roster, giving him the chance to address the many topics related to him."I'm super aware of myself, I'll say that and what I need to get better at," Demin continued.

" So, I'm living in the lifting room.

I'm not getting upset because I know how much work I put into this.

So, it's just a question of time."Demin, listed at 6-foot-8 and 200 pounds, is on the lighter side when it comes to his build, especially at his height compared to most players in the NBA.

Demin came into the Draft regarded as the best passer in the class and while he did less playmaking than many Nets fans were expecting after averaging just 1.3 assists per game, the former BYU Cougar showed his improved to shoot the basketball.In three games during the summer league, Demin averaged 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 40.7% from the field and 43.5% from three-point land.

Not only did Demin shoot the ball well from deep, he did that on 7.7 three-point attempts per game, significantly more than the 4.7 three-point attempts per game he averaged during his freshman season at BYU.

Demin seems determined to work on his weaknesses.This article originally appeared on Nets Wire: Nets' Egor Demin explains one area he's trying to improve upon.
