Demin has emerged as a star player for BYU in his freshman campaign. The five-star prospect who signed with BYU after playing for Real Madrid has started all eight of BYU’s games to open the 2024-25 season.
Demin is averaging 13.3 points, 5.8 assists, and 4.6 rebounds this season. The 6-foot-9 guard is shooting 49.3% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range.
