Will enter NBA Draft Demin will enter the 2025 NBA Draft, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com.

Impact Givony's announcement indicates that Demin will forgo both his three years of collegiate eligibility and redshirt remaining. The freshman began his pro career with Real Madrid before BYU paid a million-dollar buyout to sign him. It is safe to say the Cougars' investment paid off. For their latest season, Demin logged 10.6 points, 5.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers made and 1.2 steals per game. The guard's most recognizable flaws include turnover rate (2.9 per game) and shot inefficiency, indicated by his three-point (27.3) and free throw (69.5) percentages. But more importantly, Demin shot 41.2 percent from the field, and it is unlikely he drops below a lottery selection.

Season comes to close Demin ended with 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Thursday's 113-88 loss to Alabama.

Impact Demin slashed his way to 15 points, adding seven helpers and a couple of steals as the Cougars fell in the Sweet 16 to Alabama. The freshman point guard struggled from deep, connecting on just 1-of-8 from beyond the arc, but was effective getting inside the paint with four of his six made field-goal attempts coming at the rim. With BYU's season coming to a close, Demin will have a decision to make this offseason as he is a projected lottery pick should he choose to make himself available for the NBA draft. If this is the end, he will have finished his one season in Provo by averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals during BYU's three-game tournament run.

BYU withstood a ferocious charge from Wisconsin’s John Tonje to hold off the Badgers for a 91-89 victory that sends the program to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2011

MARCH 23 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Well-rounded skill on full display Demin amassed 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 91-89 victory over Wisconsin.

Impact Demin shot just 30.0-percent on 10 shots from the floor but contributed with eight boards and eight dimes during BYU's victory in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. It was the fifth time this season Demin has recorded at least 10 points, five rebounds and five assists in a game this season. Additionally, Demin was secure with the basketball, committing only one turnover after having tallied at least four across each of the previous three contests. The freshman guard will look to continue that level of ball control next week when BYU will make its first Sweet Sixteen appearance since 2011.

Totals 15 as BYU advances Demin registered 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Thursday's 80-71 victory over VCU.

Impact Demin had accrued just nine total points during BYU's two-game run in the Big 12 tournament but shot over 50-percent from the field as he reached the 15-point barrier for the 10th time this season. The talented freshman is a possible lottery pick in this year's NBA draft, though he continues to struggle with turnovers as Thursday marked the sixth time in eight games he's had at least four miscues. The Cougars look dangerous but Demin will need to work on tidying up his ball handling if the Cougars want to advance to the second weekend.

All-around effort in win Demin had 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and six assists across 26 minutes during Saturday's 85-74 win over Utah.

Impact Demin was one of five BYU players in double figures as the Cougars won their eighth straight to close out the regular season. Individually, Demin has recorded double-digit scoring in three straight, with six or more boards in each of those contests as well. The freshman point guard may not be the primary option offensively, but his all-around production has been vital to the success of the NCAA Tournament-bound Cougars. Widely considered to be a first-round pick in next summer's NBA Draft, Demin will get a chance to showcase his skills on the national stage this postseason.
