The Russian diamond stands out for its height, which will probably increase, its

ability to concentrate, intensity, leadership
, being very communicative, and his fluency on the track. Demin

behaves like a veteran
, perfectly managing the spaces both to find his companions and to free himself.

Great shooter features

In addition, Schmitz assures, “it has all the

characteristics of a great shooter “
, although in the tournament it was irregular and stayed at 30% in triples. “He has excellent balance and a good hand receiving and throwing and after bouncing. And he doesn’t lack confidence,

scoring some 3s from beyond the NBA line “
continues the analyst, who also sees him as “a competent defender”. Madrid have tied their new pearl with

a relationship for six seasons
. The intention for now is that he plays in cadet A of the white quarry. After the first three years the contract could be renegotiated. If Demin’s physical and basketball development is as expected, by then

the NBA will be on the prowl
. He no longer takes his eyes off him.
