Rasheer Fleming finished his rookie season with a team-best NETRTG of 6.1.His DFG% of 41.2% not only ranked 1st on the Suns, but 9th in the entire NBA (min. 200 DFGA).A breakout rookie season for the 31st pick of the 2025 NBA Draft.

He's a better lockdown defender than Dunn.

It would be a crime if Ott does not use Fleming in the playin game(s) and playoffs if we make it through. A basketball crime. He ott to give him 15-20 minutes the way he helps our defense and hits the three.

Rasheer, if you're reading this, (you effing rock) please work on a turn around jumper from mid range. Study film of Kawhi Leonard.

Why not a Steph three pointer?

His three is already quite good. He needs a mid range go-to move.

Agreed. Baseline jumper, fade away in the post, just anything he can make as a goto get your own shot move.

I think the next step just needs to be learning to fake the 3 like Royce, then drive to the rim, and sometimes pull up from mid range.

I don't think he needs to really ISO yet, or post up. First step is just to become very dangerous as a spot up 3 point shooter. His ball handling isn't good enough yet to do much else.

The Suns are hosting summer camps all throughout June. Rasheer Fleming pulled up to today’s event at West Point High School, signing autographs and interacting with the kids

Report Rasheer Fleming is up to 250 pounds. If he learns to use that size, watch out.

in ott's offense when you're supposed to be posted up at the corner 3 - you're supposed to be posted up at the corner 3

fleming struggled with that - book told him to be there when he passed it to fleming and fleming had already cut to the basket - same thing happened later in the season with grayson but grayson actually yelled at fleming lol

fleming sees his defender not paying attention and knows - not feels - he can get open on his way to the bucket but that's not how it works

our ball handlers are not only counting on fleming being there - but they're also trying to draw fleming's defender in so he has the open 3

when i watch fleming in summer league i'm seeing a guy posted up on the side waiting for the 3 - he's not creating like he was last year - i think he's trying to improve on the role

ryan dunn has a chance at filling that roll as well - brooks can drain the drain the 3 but i'm hearing miles can't - grayson and oneale are gone - we need another forward who can 3andD - that's ryan dunn and/or rasheer fleming imo
