Dëmin had eight points, a team-high seven assists, three rebounds, a steal and just one turnover in 23:03 against the Pistons.
Fans who are all in on this youth movement are getting to see the guard develop in the pick-and-roll in real time.
“He had seven assists to one turnover against a team that forced us to 20 turnovers, so that’s pretty good. And he’ll keep getting better,” Jordi Fernández said. “It’s a good way to experience those minutes. Those 23 minutes are extremely valuable. He did good things. He shot the ball, he was aggressive with his 3s. I’m very, very happy with everything, his playmaking and all that. So, ready for that next one.”
The next one is Sunday at the Garden against the rival Knicks.
After having to guard Cade Cunningham, next up is Jalen Brunson.
