Nets' Egor Demin makes basketball history never before done in NBA

Egor Demin was one of the more polarizing players in the 2025 NBA Draft class.

For the most part, he's proving it was a great thing that the Brooklyn Nets made him the No. 8 overall pick out of BYU.

On Friday night, Demin proved himself some more by making history never done before in the NBA.

He had the first game for a teenager in league history with 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 made 3-pointers, according to Real Sports.

Demin actually one-upped those benchmarks just slightly, going for 25, 10 and six made 3-pointers.

His performance came in just 29 minutes as the Nets beat the Utah Jazz, 109-99.

Demin added four assists while shooting 8-for-16 from the floor, 6-for-12 from 3 and 3-for-4 from the foul line.

He'll turn 20 on March 3.

For the season, Demin is averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists. He's shooting 40.2% from 3-point range and 84.8% from the foul line.

He has taken 259 of his 363 field goal attempts from beyond the arc, which works out to 6.3 attempts 3-pointers per night in just 24.9 minutes per contest. Demin is letting it fly while also displaying some of the playmaking that gave him so much potential as a prospect.

The Nets are very young, and not good at all right now, but Demin is certainly providing some positive hope for the future of this franchise.
