Bulls Interested In Drafting Egor Demin 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri May 30, 2025 1:09 pm

The Chicago Bulls hold the No. 12 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Picking near the end of the lottery leaves Chicago with a lot options, but they Bulls are seemingly focusing in on drafting Egor Demin of BYU.


Some outlets consider Demin to be a top 10 selection in the draft. Others have him available when the Bulls pick. Chicago is said to be focused on drafting a wing or big with their first-round pick.


The 6-foot-8 ballhandler had an up-and-down season at BYU. Demin averaged 10.6 points, 5.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. Unfortunately, the 19-year-old shot just 41.2% from the field and 27.3% on three-pointers.


Still, Chicago sees Demin as potentially a good fit in their up-tempo offense. The pace with which team wants to play, has reportedly seen them sour some on big man Derik Queen. The Maryland big man is not considered a good fit for the Bulls style of play.

Does that mean the end of Josh Giddey? These two play very similar and they also have several ball handlers on that roster.

It would be insane to telegraph in-advance who the target is.
