Egor Dëmin Enters Year Two With the Nets Looking for a Bigger Role
newsroom · 51 min agoEgor Dëmin is back with Brooklyn for the 2026-27 season after a rookie year that saw him play 52 games. He is not on the injury report, and the Nets are heading into the opener with him penciled in as a rotation guard. The numbers from last season set the baseline for what he needs to build on.
Where Dëmin Stands Heading Into 2026-27
Egor Dëmin heads into his second season with the Nets. He is listed at guard, wears No. 8, and stands 6-8, 200 pounds, an unusual frame for the position. Dëmin is 20 years old and came into the league out of Brigham Young. He played his rookie year with Brooklyn last season, appearing in 52 games and averaging 25.2 minutes a night. There is no record yet for 2026-27, and the Nets have not played a game. Dëmin is not on the injury report, so he heads into camp and the season opener healthy and available for Brooklyn's rotation.
Last Season By The Numbers
In 2025-26, Dëmin averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 25.2 minutes per game across 52 appearances for Brooklyn. He added 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks a night, with 1.7 turnovers per game. His shooting split was 39.9 percent from the field, 38.5 percent from three, and 83.1 percent from the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage was 56.1, with a usage rate of 18.2 percent. His plus-minus for the season was -3.1. Those are the numbers Dëmin takes into his second year, and they are the baseline the Nets and fans will measure his growth against once the 2026-27 season tips off.
The Skill Set: Size and Passing
At 6-8 and 200 pounds, Dëmin is a big body for a guard, and his assist number last season, 3.3 per game, points to a player Brooklyn used as a facilitator. He got to the free-throw line often enough to shoot 83.1 percent there over 52 games, a solid mark for a young guard. His steal rate, 0.8 per game, and block rate, 0.3 per game, show some defensive activity for his size at the position. Those are the tools on record from his rookie season. How the Nets deploy that combination of size and playmaking in year two will shape his role once games start.
What Needs To Improve: Efficiency and Usage
Dëmin's field-goal percentage last season, 39.9, and his true shooting mark, 56.1, are the clearest areas to watch entering 2026-27. His three-point shooting, 38.5 percent, was a bright spot, but it did not fully offset the lower overall field-goal percentage. His usage rate, 18.2 percent, was modest for a 25-plus-minute player, and his plus-minus, -3.1, was in the red for the season. Turnovers were kept in check at 1.7 per game. None of these numbers are disqualifying for a first-year player, but they are the specific marks Dëmin needs to move as he takes on more responsibility in his second Brooklyn season.
Injury Report and What's Ahead
Dëmin is not on the injury report, and there is no injury history on file for him. That is a clean bill of health heading into a season that has not yet started for Brooklyn. There is no record yet for 2026-27, and no recent games or rumors on file involving Dëmin. With the season opener still ahead, the storyline is straightforward: a healthy, available second-year guard with a known statistical baseline from a 52-game rookie season, waiting for Brooklyn's schedule to begin so year two can get underway.
