Egor Demin’s biggest Nets hurdle isn’t what everyone expected

For Egor Demin, his success on the court may be about his work in the weight room.

Read X — always a dangerous thing — and the Nets had the worst draft in history, thanks to taking Demin. The narrative coming into summer league was that the lottery pick’s busted jumper was going to make him a bust as well.

But an unexpected performance in Las Vegas that was both strong and surprising has flipped every notion on its head. A point guard shunted off the ball? A passer who had just four assists? And a non-shooter who shot the lights out in Las Vegas?

Make it all make sense.
