Egor Demin Named to 2026 NBA All‑Summer League Second Team

Demin’s Summer League Impact

Egor Demin anchored Brooklyn’s summer slate with a 21.0‑point, 3.7‑rebound, 4.3‑assist, 2.3‑steal line. He shot 42.6% from the floor and cashed in 30.0% of his three‑point attempts during the Las Vegas tournament. While the California Classic showcased an even higher scoring and shooting efficiency—23.0 points, 55.6% from the field—the NBA still recognized his Las Vegas run. The 20‑year‑old guard’s ability to generate turnovers and finish fast breaks drew praise across the league.

Who Else Made the Second Team?

The All‑Summer League second team also features Minnesota guard Zyon Pullin, Memphis forward Cedric Coward, Charlotte forward Liam McNeeley, and Phoenix center Khaman Maluach. Each player earned the honor for standout performances that highlighted their teams’ depth. The selection underscores a competitive summer where talent was spread across multiple franchises. Demin’s inclusion places him among the league’s rising stars.

What This Means for the Nets

Demin’s recognition signals a rapid ascent for a rookie who has already impressed scouts with his work ethic. ESPN’s Ben Golliver labeled him the best sophomore of the summer, hinting at his potential as a key rotation player. Though his three‑point shooting lagged compared to his rookie season, he proved he can hold his own on the defensive end. The Nets will watch his continued development with optimism, knowing the league has taken notice of his progress.
