Egor Dëmin Named to All‑Summer League Second Team After Breakout Las Vegas Showing

His Las Vegas play showed added strength with improved inside scoring that could expand his role if it carries into the regular season.

Overview

The NBA placed Dëmin on the 2026 All‑Summer League Second Team in a vote of all 30 franchises after his Las Vegas performances were recognized on Tuesday.
Across five Summer League games in Sacramento and Las Vegas he averaged about 21 points while adding rebounds, assists and steals and posting a high true‑shooting rate.
Dëmin said he added 13–15 pounds in the offseason after plantar fasciitis ended his rookie year, and coaches credited that strength gain with his improved ability to finish through contact.
Summer League tape showed a clear stylistic shift from primarily spot‑up 3‑point work to attacking the paint, as he converted a large share of two‑point attempts and handled more pick‑and‑roll responsibility.
Brooklyn calls the growth encouraging for its development plan but league analysts and the team caution that Summer League success is a small sample and regular‑season translation remains the key test.
