Locked On NBA Big Board - NBA Draft Podcast

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin dive into Egor Demin’s impressive debut performance for BYU, where he recorded 18 points, 11 assists, and 4 rebounds in the Cougars’ win over Central Arkansas. Barlowe and Thulin break down Demin’s playmaking and floor vision, discussing whether he showed the potential to be a full-time NBA point guard.

Barlowe particularly emphasizes that Demin made the right choice in committing to BYU, a program that fits his skill set and maximizes his strengths.

He contrasts this with other top prospects who, in his view, have not chosen schools that best showcase their NBA attributes.

The hosts also explore Demin’s draft range and his potential fit with the Utah Jazz, noting the Jazz’s familiarity with Demin and his local college ties as factors that could make him an intriguing option for the team if he’s available at their pick.
