NBA Teams Beyond Brooklyn Show Interest in Rising Star Yegor Dёmin

American journalist Brian Lewis from the New York Post reported that the newcomer to the Brooklyn Nets, Russian player Yegor Dyomin, who plays as a point guard, attracted interest from teams such as the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Atlanta Hawks ahead of the NBA draft.

“Egor impressed more than just the Brooklyn team. Thunder’s general manager Sam Presti actually brought Dyomin in for a visit and was reportedly considering a trade involving him and a 15th pick in the draft. Dyomin also showcased his impressive basketball IQ, which caught the attention of Atlanta,” Lewis wrote in his column for the New York Post.
