Should Nets' Egor Demin make either of the NBA's All-Rookie teams?

Brooklyn Nets rookie guard Egor Demin had a solid rookie season for the Nets prior to his left plantar fasciitis ending his season prematurely in March. Brooklyn began relying on Demin once he acclimated to playing point guard and playing off the ball at the NBA level, but it seems that he won't be recognized for being one of the ten best rookies in the league this season.

Since the ending of the regular season, there have been several articles published of people around the NBA that gave their predictions over what the two NBA All-Rookie teams will look like. Beyond the obvious choices of Dallas Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg, Charlotte Hornets forward Kon Knueppel, and Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe, there are still seven other spots to fill on the All-Rookie teams.

In pieces published by ESPN's Tim Bontemps, No Ceilings' Nathan Grubel, and Yahoo! Sports' Dan Devine, Demin did not make either of the All-Rookie teams with Bontemps and Devine indicating that they are official voters for the end-of-season awards. Grubel's article provided an extended breakdown on each player he chose for the two All-Rookie teams while also being the only one of the three to include Demin as an honorable mention.

Demin, 20, ended his rookie season averaging 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game while shooting 39.9% from the field and 38.5% from behind the three-point line. Of the players that made their NBA debut this season, Demin made the fourth-most three-pointers and ranked 18th in points per game and 13th in assists per game while making 52 appearances.
