The player you mentioned that most plays like Flemmings is Toney Parker. And I remember drafting a point guard who was comped as the next Toney Parker, his name was Devin Harris. Who I think Flemming's game and upside most resemble. Devin also had a much longer wingspan, which not only helps defensively but also with finishing around the rim.
So, for all those who are in favor of drafting Flemmings with the ninth pick, would you be okay if Flemmings had a similar career to Devin Harris?
Bro..You're asking me to stop comparing to Brunson and then comparing Flemings to Harris when Flemings is closer to Brunson than Harris? Harris was a very inconsistent shooter. Even towards the end of his career when Harris was much better, his jump shot never evoked much confidence at all.
I can go through each of the counters on differences between Nash, Brunson, Flemings, but the truth is I don't think it's going to sway you and none of us, including I, know if Flemings can be even remotely as successful as the other two. Heck, Devin for all his negatives, had a long career in the NBA, and many prospects who have fallen by the wayside would do anything to have his career. I don't know for sure if Flemings will even have Devin's career.
At this point all of us are just speculating and projecting based on what we've seen. I feel confident his mid range will translate. I am also not putting him above other guards. All I have said consistently is that if it's between Burries and Flemings, and the other guards are gone, I hope the Mavs get one of them.
