Suns draft Rasheer Fleming with the 31st pick

[Mainstreet]

Guys were reluctant to drive the hole when Bol Bol was in and he wasn't a defensive stopper. I do agree size alone makes guys think about it more. Just want to see how he moves and thinks in summer league games to get an idea of what we are looking at. The Summer League games are also not good because guys play so wild there is no structure like an actual game. I'm looking for more about his instincts.

Bol Bol wasn't much of a shot blocker or a defensive deterrent, probably because he didn't have the physical build to play inside.

If Khaman takes a position down low, he should be able to hold it.

I, too, look at skills and ability as an indicator of what a player can do moreso than stats. Sometimes players call their own number in summer league.

I'd Khamen is communicating out there, calling defenses and switches, which is what a center is supposed to do, it's a pretty remarkable thing for an 18 year old. It takes a leaders mentality to walk onto a court where everyone is older than you and take charge.
