PROVO, Utah – BYU has added one of the top international men's basketball prospects to its roster for the 2024-25 season with Egor Demin signing a National Letter of Intent to play for the Cougars, head coach Kevin Young announced on Monday.
“We are thrilled that Egor and his family are joining us at BYU,” Young said. “He is a special talent with an extremely bright future, and he plays the game the right way. At 6-foot-9, his passing, playmaking and shooting will fit seamlessly into our style of play. Egor has proven himself among the best prospects in Europe in recent years. We look forward to helping him grow and develop on and off the court.”
The 6-foot-9 native of Moscow, Russia helped Real Madrid defend its Adidas Next Generation Tournament title, scoring in double figures in all four games played in Berlin, Germany. A projected lottery pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Demin finished with 26 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in the final against PFBB INSEP Paris, going 6-of-12 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free throw line.
