Overview
- The Hawks’ No. 8 pick has stood out in Summer League for his defense and passing, disrupting lanes, forcing deflections and creating for teammates.
- Through four Summer League games he averaged about 10 points, 6.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks while protecting the ball most nights.
- His scoring efficiency is a clear weakness, with roughly 31.8 percent shooting overall and about 30.8 percent from three over the four-game sample.
- Longtime skills coach Devon Agusi publicly defended Flemings’ unconventional mechanics and past shooting track record, while scouts warn about long-term scalability.
- The Hawks view Flemings as a developmental building block whose near-term focus must be off-dribble shooting, footwork and conditioning before the regular season.
