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.

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

Secondary ball-handler

Combo guard, primary 2

(Malik Monk, Cason Wallace)

• Elite efficiency

• Has elite steal upside

• Lightning quick first step

• Sneaky athleticism

• Great and guarding shift PG’s.

• Nice handle

• Shooting regression incoming (61/52/76)

• Undersized 2

• Low FTr

• High turnovers considering lower usage, usually self created

Likely play in a 2 guard backcourt. He’s a ball handler, but likely not a full time PG, could run a bench unit. Has been super efficient and can absolutely be the PoA defender on smaller, shifty guards, great on close outs.

PROS Very fast has a really good burst and first step Really good rim frequency in the halfcourt Good finisher at the rim in the halfcourt very good pull up midrange shooter but has been good even pulling up from 3 has been good as a C&S shooter from 3 even hitting some off movement has good vision and is a good and willing passer especially on the move has been playing a secondary role (had primary usage in hs) but has been really good off the catch and can attack closeouts really well Solid defender, gets a good n of steals and is a fluid lateral mover

CONS Not great at decelerating on drives can be a bit out of control does not get a lot of FTs for someone that goest to the rim that much Does not attempt many 3s (shot mechanics a bit unorthodox) His passing not nearly as good with his left hand on Defense struggles with screen navigation Want to see more self creation and more Pick and Roll operations

Flemings is a lightning fast guard, who can control his pace well. He provides a lot of rim pressure and generates a lot of paint touches.

I like the bits of playmaking I've seen from him.

His jumpshooting efficiency is out of this world. The lack of 3pt volume isn't worrying but does rase some questions. His mid range game does look dependable.

A Flemings/Johnson III pairing does lack some size, which raises questions on defense. However they both play defense with a lot of energy, which is promising. Offensively I believe Flemings downhill game would compliment Johnson's perimeter centric game.

I also believe he could be the playmaker to allow Sarr to improve further.

Flemings would be a great consolation price if the Wizards miss out on a top pick again.
