Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin made history on Friday night, setting an NBA rookie record by hitting a 3-pointer in his 34th consecutive game. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by Rudy Fernandez and Landry Shamet. Demin's exceptional shooting skills have been a result of his dedication to refining his technique, spending extra hours in the gym. His hard work has paid off, as he now ranks second among NBA rookies in 3-pointers made this season, with 98 to date. Demin's performance is even more impressive considering he struggled with shooting during his one season at BYU, where he shot just 27.3% from the perimeter. The Nets' coach, Kevin Young, played a pivotal role in Demin's development, providing him with the necessary knowledge to excel at the NBA level. Demin's success has not only earned him a spot as a reliable perimeter threat but has also put him on track to break another record. He is currently second in the Nets' history for most 3-pointers made by a rookie, just behind Kerry Kittles' record from the 1996-97 season. This season alone, Demin has already set Nets rookie records for the most 3-pointers in a single game (seven) and the most games with five or more 3-pointers (six). His outstanding performance has undoubtedly solidified his place as a rising star in the NBA.
