In a display of sharpshooting, Egor Demin of the Brooklyn Nets set a new NBA rookie record, hitting a three-pointer in his 34th consecutive game. Demin, who was drafted 8th overall, achieved the feat against the Utah Jazz. He quickly made his presence felt, going 3-for-5 from beyond the arc in the first quarter, accumulating 11 points.

Demin's accomplishment surpasses the previous record held by Rudy Fernandez and Landry Shamet. The guard has been a consistent threat from long range, shooting nearly 40% from three-point range this season. His dedication to honing his shooting skills has paid off. Demin's success underscores his transition from college to the professional level.

Demin's 98 three-pointers this season rank second among all rookies, trailing only Kon Knueppel. He's also nearing Kerry Kittles' Nets rookie record for most three-pointers in a season. Demin has already set franchise rookie records for most threes in a game (seven) and games with five or more threes (six).

With his shooting prowess, Demin is becoming a key player for the Nets. This record highlights his skill and potential in the league. As the season progresses, fans will be eager to see if he can continue his streak and potentially break more records, solidifying his place in NBA history.
