"The event, set for 9 p.m. ET at Intuit Dome and airing on Peacock, gathers much of the league's young core for a four-team mini-tournament. Three squads of NBA rookies and sophomores will be led by Hall of Famers Carmelo Anthony, Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter, while a fourth team of G League standouts will be coached by Austin Rivers. Dëmin slots onto Team Vince, alongside VJ Edgecombe, Derik Queen, Kyshawn George, Matas Buzelis, Cedric Coward and Jaylen Wells."
"After shooting 27.3% from deep in college, he has lifted that number by 12.3% in the NBA, the second-largest jump in this draft class. The growth has arrived with real volume and in real moments. Through 46 games, Dëmin has buried 116 3-pointers. That's second among rookies this season and already the second most by a rookie in franchise history, trailing only Kerry Kittles."
