Event Egor Demin? 2025 nba draft candidate

Isn't an NBA season 82 games? Two seasons = 164.

 

Yeah. So these are players that played 2 or more NBA seasons. I didn’t want to include players like you pointed out earlier that were borderline and didn’t get a chance to play and improve.

 

Don't 1R draft picks get guaranteed 2-year contracts, though? My point being that there were a lot of borderline players included just by filtering it that way. Anyone picked in the first round is going to be around at least two years, whether they have it or not. The tires are being kicked on them. Then a slice of that pie is players whose games aren't predicated on shooting the 3. Then a slice of those players are guys that were in college for 3 years instead of 1 who got to improve their shooting % before going pro and had a much larger sample size.

And, after all of that, their 3-pt % went up nearly an entire point, which actually is more significant than it's going to appear.

 

NBA franchises by in large disagree with that last part. They study this stuff for a living so I'm not going to argue with that.

I'd like to see you filter by lottery picks or 1st round picks and see what the results are.

 

okay, but I don't think Demin will be running an NBA point real soon as his handle is another skill he's not very good at (yet)... they get into that in the video I linked below. Smaller players hounded him into a lot of turnovers in college (2.9 TOs per game) and it won't get easier in the pros. Part of the reason most PGs are shorter is that taller players have higher dribbles and are easier to pick. I think it's more likely he finds success as a secondary playmaker, but he'll have to improve his 3 ball for that role.

Again, he's an intriguing prospect with some very desirable skills. I would be excited if they selected him as that would mean they believe he's going to get a lot better at some of his shortcomings, I just think he's at least a season away from contributing much.



STOMP

 

I think Kasparas is more well rounded but I doubt he's there at 11. If he is, I prefer him but still like Demin's chances at being special.

 

Players miss games.
Sharpe has played in ~185 games after 3 seasons.
Camara is at ~150 games after 2 season
Scoot is at ~130 games

His filter on the analysis is fair

 

Watching his interviews he’d fit right in with his nice guy kinda goofy personality. So that’s a pass on him for me. We need some more alpha types on this roster imo. We need more dawgs.
