College career

DeMuynck spent three years at Chabot College. As a redshirt sophomore in 2010–11,[1] he earned Honorable Mention All-State and first-team All-Conference honors (Coast-North Division League). He finished second in the conference with 17 points per game, while averaging seven rebounds and four assists. He shot 44 percent from the field and ranked fifth in the Coast-North Division League with 3.9 assists and led the league with 2.5 steals.[2]

In April 2011, DeMuynck transferred to Prairie View A&M University.[3]

As a junior at Prairie View A&M in 2011–12, DeMuynck played in 32 games with 13 starts. He began the season as a starter but emerged as a valuable sixth man off the bench once SWAC play began. He led the Panthers in scoring with 10.1 points per game and ranked third in rebounding with 4.3 boards per game. He closed the regular season out strong with a then career-high 27 points against Alcorn State on March 3, 2012.[2]

As a senior in 2012–13, DeMuynck averaged 15.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 32 games for the Panthers.[4] He subsequently earned second-team All-SWAC honors and was named to the SWAC All-Tournament Team after helping the Panthers reach the SWAC Tournament Final.[5] In the SWAC Tournament Semifinal on March 15, 2013 against Jackson State, DeMuynck scored a career-high 37 points.[6]

Professional career

In August 2013, DeMuynck signed with Keravnos of Cyprus for the 2013–14 season.[7] In 15 games for Keravnos, he averaged 11.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

On August 22, 2014, DeMuynck signed with MZT Skopje of Macedonia for the 2014–15 season.[8] On November 6, 2014, he parted ways with MZT after appearing in two league games and six Adriatic League games.[9] In eight total games, he averaged 7.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.[10]

On October 31, 2015, DeMuynck was selected by the Iowa Energy in the fifth round of the 2015 NBA Development League Draft.[11] However, he was waived by the Energy six days later.[12]

On January 10, 2016, DeMuynck signed with the Perth Redbacks for the 2016 State Basketball League season.[13] He made his debut for the Redbacks in the team's season opening win over the Kalamunda Eastern Suns on March 18, scoring a season-high 49 points on 18-of-28 shooting, 4-of-8 from three-point range, and 9-of-12 from the free throw line.[14][15] On April 16, he recorded 38 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and four steals in a 107–103 loss to the Stirling Senators.[16] On May 14, he recorded a near triple-double with 25 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds (playing in 32 minutes over just three quarters) in a 124–103 win over the Mandurah Magic.[17] On June 11, he had a 41-point performance in a 114–93 win over the Goldfields Giants.[18] On June 25, he had another 41-point effort in a 125–90 loss to the Willetton Tigers.[19] He helped the Redbacks finish the regular season in seventh place on the ladder with a 15–11 record. They went on to lose to the second-seeded Joondalup Wolves 2–0 in the quarter-finals. DeMuynck appeared in all 28 games for the Redbacks in 2016, averaging 26.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game.[20]
