30 plus minutes of Flemings highlights if you are interested.

I did not see him play last night and it was a blowout anyway.  I could change my opinion, but as of now I think Flemings fits the easiest of the 5-10 guards.   If he measures 6'4 he has good size.  It looks like he will continue to fill out and should be a good defender.   His speed would look awesome in Dallas.  Pairing him with Kyrie and Cooper could really be exciting.  I think it is the cleanest fit of the potential options in this range.

I'll be interested to see how Flemings measures out at the combine. I'm not 100% sold on him being a 2 way player in the NBA, but maybe he's closer to the 6'4" listing than I'm giving him credit for.

Unfortunately I think he's the least obtainable player in the entire draft for the Mavs. He seems to be mocked pretty consistently at #5. To get that pick the Mavs would have to somehow out-tank the Jazz for the 5th worst record, and that would only give them a 2.2% shot at staying at #5 in the lottery.
