Overview
- Demin scored 16 points with four rebounds and five assists in Brooklyn’s 119-109 loss to Toronto, marking his best NBA game to date.
- Over his three starts replacing Thomas, he has averaged 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists with just 1.7 turnovers in 25.3 minutes.
- He has hit 47 percent of his threes over that span, easing pre-draft concerns about his perimeter shot.
- After opening the season without a two-point attempt across his first appearances, he has begun driving more, largely out of pick-and-roll actions.
- Fernández challenged him to sustain gains and sharpen his defense, while teammate Nic Claxton noted missed preseason time made his adjustment tougher.
