I don't see where he just has some physical traits. For a skinny guy who went through a late growth spurt, who probably still hasn't adjusted to that body, to get to the line a lot while playing predominantly on the perimeter has to count for something.
Anyway, with his recent workout, for better or for worse, I don't think the Mavs will have to make that decision. I see him moving up because size with potential always entices, and I see one of the guards dropping down. I feel Flemings will drop, and more I watch his game, the more I'm perfectly fine if that's who the Mavs pick.
The only concern with Flemings is when looking at the Thunder and Spurs, those teams have a lot of tall guards. Their smallball is like GS where Curry was the smallest at 6'3", but they had a lot of taller guards and forwards around him. However, shotmaking is still king in the new NBA, and Flemings can certainly do that.
Yeah, I will be fine with Flemings. He is in my third tier with Wagler and Acuff. My fourth tier is Brown, Burries and Ament. They may have similar upside but I think there is a higher bust rate with those guys than my tier 3. I have not put Mara or Laxel in a tier as this is my Mavs tier list. I would love to have one of them and someone from my tier 4, jump up. Thus, Mavs would have someone from my tier 3 available. AT 9 though, I am not confident. I think one reaches to 8, but lets see how things play out.
