""There's a reason why we drafted him," Brooklyn coach Jordie Fernandez said. "We believed that (his) shooting was NBA shooting and he's proven it from the beginning.""
""You see the confidence growing on him," Nets center Day'ron Sharpe said. "Who knows what Egor can be in the next couple of years?""
""Shooting the ball," Demin said ahead of Friday's game against the Jazz. "As simple as it is, just being in the gym and shooting the ball.""
Brooklyn guard Egor Demin made at least one 3-pointer in 34 consecutive games, establishing a new NBA rookie record. He reached the milestone on the Nets' first basket against the Utah Jazz and finished 6-for-12 from long distance, scoring 25 points and collecting 10 rebounds in a 109-99 win. Three fourth-quarter threes helped Brooklyn pull away late. Drafted eighth overall out of BYU, Demin entered the game with 98 threes this season, second among rookies, and has shot 39.7% from long range after extensive practice and coaching that improved his college perimeter mark of 27.3%.
