Egor Demin Nears NBA Dream Amid Political Turmoil With Home Country
Egor Demin Nears NBA Dream Amid Political Turmoil With Home Country originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In three weeks, former BYU point guard Egor Demin is expected to hear his name called in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft. But as the 19-year-old prepares for the life-changing moment at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, controversy looms from his home country of Russia. Advertisement On Tuesday, The Moscow Times reported that Russia's Ministry of Justice added Brigham Young University to its list of 'undesirable' organizations. The rare designation carries criminal penalties for any Russian nationals affiliated with such groups. Under Russian law, this could put Demin at legal risk if he returns to home. Despite the news, Demin remains closely tied to BYU. The Moscow Times report left BYU faculty stunned, including Jeff Hardy, a professor specializing in Soviet history. 'Complete shock,' Hardy told Sam Foster of BYU's Universe Sports. 'This appeared to come out of nowhere." Experts speculate the blacklisting may be linked to a February panel at BYU titled 'Russia as a Global Threat,' hosted by a U.S. State Department official. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which sponsors BYU, was not named on the list, according to the report from Foster. The Russian government has not explained why BYU was blacklisted, and the school has not released an official response.

Many NBA Draft analysts have said that Demin 'looked great' during the NBA Combine and may be peaking at the right time. Demin, who helped lead BYU to the Sweet 16, is praised for his rare size and elite passing but must prove his shooting can be consistent. Despite political tensions, Demin continues to publicly embrace BYU. He still lists '@byumbb' in his Instagram bio and has expressed intentions to finish his degree with the university in the future. During an April interview, he said, 'I was coming here with faith, and I am leaving with a bigger faith.'

Ukraine's outgoing ground forces chief says his command was mired in 'managerial stagnation' when he joined
The outgoing chief of Ukraine's ground forces said on Wednesday that his command was in a "state of managerial stagnation" when he first took his post in November. Writing on social media on Wednesday, Mykhailo Drapatyi listed a slew of issues he discovered last year, including an "atmosphere of fear, lack of initiative, closure to feedback, indifference to personnel problems, a facade of discipline, a deep gap between headquarters and units." Drapatyi wrote that he replaced half of the leaders under him, slamming what he said was systematic abuse, staffing decisions based on connections, and chaos within the officer ranks. "There was not even a trace of a developmental spirit in command," Drapatyi added. The remarks from Drapatyi, who led Kyiv's land forces for roughly six months, reflect an oft-discussed frustration in Ukraine's military that it was thrown into war with an outdated structure and culture that cleaved to old Soviet habits. Ukraine has urgently tried to initiate changes as it battles Russia on its own borders. Drapatyi, a 42-year-old general, was appointed command in November as part of a younger wave of leaders aimed at facilitating reform. "I worked to break this system," he wrote on Wednesday. Drapatyi said one of his focuses was reshaping Ukraine's training divisions, which he said also saw half of its leading officers removed. Additionally, the general said he had to bring digitalization to training management and logistics systems, and introduced "psychological support tools" for soldiers. "The Command of the Ground Forces is only at the beginning of change. A system does not change in a few months, but the vector has already been set, the team assembled, and the approaches revised," he added. Drapatyi stepped down from his post on June 1 in the aftermath of a Russian strike on a Dnipro training ground that killed 12 Ukrainians. While announcing his resignation, Drapatyi blamed himself for the deaths of the soldiers, calling them young Ukrainians who were "supposed to learn, live, fight— not die." "The behavior of fighters matters, but the main responsibility always lies with the command," he wrote. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy summoned Drapatyi for a meeting on June 3, after which the latter was reassigned to the commander of the Joint Forces of Ukraine, another military branch that reports to the General Staff. Zelenskyy said that in his new role, Drapatyi would focus "exclusively on combat issues." Shortly after Zelenskyy's announcement, Drapatyi wrote that he would "remain in the ranks" and take on the new position assigned by the president. "I am stepping down with a clear conscience," he wrote on Wednesday.
