BYU freshman point guard Egor Demin will announce Tuesday whether he will return to school or enter the 2025 NBA Draft.

ESPN reported that he will go the draft route, leaving the Cougars after 33 games and averages of 10.6 points, 5.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

Demin, a Moscow native, was selected to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team .

He landed in Provo, Utah, by way of Spain, where he moved at age 15 to play for Real Madrid. BYU paid a reported $1.5 million buyout to the Spanish club to sign the 6-foot-9 guard.

ESPN projects that he would be a first-round pick, somewhere in the range of Nos. 11-20, should he enter the draft.

Should he stay at BYU, he would team with incoming freshman AJ Dybantsa, a 6-foot-9 forward from Massachusetts who spent his senior season at Utah Prep. He is the No. 1 player in the 2025 class, per 247 Sports.

BYU finished the 2024-25 season with a 26-10 (14-6 Big 12) record and lost to Alabama in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament.
