Pros:

• extremely good fast twitch athlete; beats poa whenever he wants

• tight handle; keeps the ball away from trouble

• active cutter + overall off-ball mover

• aggressive driver who creates a ton of advantages very often; elite use of off arm and shoulders to create seperation

• very efficient midrange counter to the drive

• good defensive motor with length; passing lane threat

• three point shot and efficiency look great; would like to see higher volume

Cons:

• can overcommit to passing lanes/closeouts fairly often

• light frame and can get overwhelmed by over-physicality and quick traps

C: multi time all-star

F: important bench piece

A well built and athletic point guard who excels at getting to the hoop. Has explosive ability and can really play above the rim and is also a high level shooter. He's been really impressive so far this season.

NBA Comp: Brandon Knight?

Kingston Flemings, 6'4, 190, PG, Houston, Fr.

• Comp: Eric Bledsoe / Baron Davis / Deron Williams

• Ceiling: ALL-NBA

• Floor: Starter

• He knows how to fill his role, and can adapt to different ones

• Very good swiss army knife kind of guy

• Very reliable/efficient

• 3-level-scorer

• Plays under control

• Good athletic tools, could use a little more weight

• Very aggressive

• Moves a lot off ball

• Will tend to make all or nothing plays on defense that if unsuccessful will put his team at a disadvantage, needs to get better at picking when to make those decisions

• Very explosive

• Expectation: ALL-STAR; I think his all or nothing style of play will help him get to a high level, but because he tends to gamble, he will have a cap, unless he develops a better judgment for when to make those decisions

General notes:

• Elite mid range game, creates great separation and its super consistent. Nice go to.

• Strong first step and great advantage creation for rim looks.

• Athletic at the rim and not scared to attack bigger players

• Three pointer is gonna require some more volume but generally looks positive at the moment.

• Playmaking is rather basic with flashes of great stuff but generally he is risk averse.

• Defensively he has size an athleticism to manage but struggles with more creative guards.

need to check finishing numbers

good shooter

fast driver

wild finishing but 90% from rim??? top 4 unless finishing numbers deteriorate

Movement ball handler

(Mike Conley, Cason Wallace)

High efficiency, low volume guard. Great defensive playmaker, can defend 1on1 against smaller shifty guards and has great instincts for steals. Great burst to get by a man. Very valuable contributor on both sides of the ball with good size. You’d want him to increase reps for development and try to keep the efficiency up, could then become a lead guard
