A question, assuming that the CHA pick doesn't convey, it turns into 2 2nd round picks; are those SRPs 25 & 26 or 26 & 27?
Utah will draft him if they miss on Flagg.

26 and 27
I’m still all in on Rasheer Fleming, I think he could step into Barnes role very easily with additional rebounding and provide a lot of synergy with Wemby.
Per Synergy, Fleming ranks in the 96th percentile in overall points per possession (PPP), the 88th percentile in transition, the 93rd percentile as the roll man, the 100th percentile on cuts, the 92nd percentile on all jumpers, the 82nd percentile shooting off the catch, and the 90th percentile scoring at the rim. That is bonkers levels of efficiency. If you look closely, there’s a common theme among all of those numbers and play/shot types. All of them are in a play-finishing role.
He's on my list too. Tankathon has him at #27 on their board. I think I'd have him around #15 overall. If I believed in his outside shot, I'd have him much higher though. With his length, athleticism, and two way game I'd probably have him top 5 if I thought he could maintain that 40% level from deep that he's put up this year.
Man that Lithuanian kid at Illinois looks really really good. He’s gotta be top 5 right?
I like both Fleming and Wolf.
I'm sure something like the following has been posted in this thread before and looking at tankathon ages jogged my memory, but I also think people might overreact to them being juniors when age-wise it's not that bad.
Derik Queen is getting hyped as a too 10 guy and he's old as for a freshman. 20.5 on draft night. He's only 5 months younger than Fleming and 7 months or so younger than Wolf. Edgecombe and Kneuppel will be a month shy of 20 9n draft night coming off their freshman seasons.
I think he's to 5 on everyone's board. It'll take a ton of luck to get him.
Yea he's projected top-5 right now. I worry about his defense and lack of overall athleticism, and he needs to cut down on the turnovers (3.5/per game), but he's one of the best, most polished Offensive players in this draft and can legitimately play either Guard position. Much more of a natural PG than Castle is. Really skilled player with an advanced feel for the game for an 18 year-old (not surprising for a Euro). Good size at 6'6 200 lbs. as well.
Great shooter (39% from 3 on 5 attempts/per) but also likes to get downhill and attack the basket. Solid finisher in the paint (though he still needs to improve in this regard, as most young players do) but also unselfish and prefers to kick it out to the open man. Really good passer. He's both a legitimate scorer and a playmaker. He and Wemby would form a deadly PnR game together. Spurs would be lucky to have him tbh.

Jakucionas is likely the guy we'd want in this draft. Only just 'okay' athleticism, but his DPM is good and he puts in effort. Not the best handles and has TO problems right now, but that can be improved. Good shooter, but what impresses me most is how he places the ball with his passes. I don't think he's a star, but I'm not sure anyone in this draft is. Mostly he fills a major role going forward.
The one guy (aside from Fleming) I keep coming back to is Derik Queen. The kid plays beautiful basketball. I may raise him a tier or two.
p.s. i’ll reply back to your question later SpursBills You should check out Queen. If you like CMB, you’ll gain great appreciation for him.
Alright you guys have got my interest in Fleming piqued. Hit up the thread with your best video scouting reports of him
Watched MD vs IL last night and would be great with a Jakucionas/Queen draft. Queen is a big dude with flashes of brilliance. Not a shot blocker and he's struggled a bit against conference play. Last night Illinois had no size to compete. You'd be strictly drafting mostly a bench guy.
Couldn’t find any detailed breakdowns but here’s a more recent highlight package that has a section for scoring and defense.
What? You don't think Cooper Flagg will be a star?
More athletic than Sochan. He has better form and a quicker release on his shot. Move Sochan to the bench and start Fleming.
He could be. I've said elsewhere, he seems like a very talented toolsy player any team could use but no, I'm not sure he's a franchise maker. He and Harper have elements and could be though.What? You don't think Cooper Flagg will be a star?
We are not a good rebounding team TBH. What about Johni Broome from Auburn. He is also a good shot blocker. He also has 3pt range, though he only shoots about 30%. I have watched a few of his games and I think he could be a solid addition to our bigs rotation. He is a poor FT shooter. Another issue is his age. He is already 22. Broome is a late first, early second prospect.
I prefer Fleming to Queen. Queen is very inconsistent. He may have some nice upside, but I am tired of inconsistent basketball. The Spurs have enough inconsistent players already.
I like Broome as a trade down or if he falls to a SRP. I think in the top 20 though I’d rather pick Fleming, Newell, or Murray Boyles.
This may come as a bit of a surprise, but the Spurs are actually 6th in the league in Rebound Chance % at 58.1%, and 3rd in the league in Adjusted Rebound Chance % at 63.2%. Adjusted Reb Chance % is a better metric, because it factors in all of the opportunities a player has for a rebound but let's a teammate grab it.
Where we are not good, however, is Contested Reb %, where we are 20th in the league at only 31.7% (best in the league, if you are wondering, is 36.1%).
With all of that said, I'd still love for us to add some rebounding strength and become dominant in this area.
I have seen some reviews of Broome that always mention “At ude Issues” not sure what happened but where there is smoke there is fire?
I can’t get there with Queen. Heard a comp to OSU’s Sullenger and that gave me a lot of pause. Terrific college post player that couldn’t find a reliable home in the NBA.
Danny Wolf and Michigan at Purdue on Fox at 7:00 for you channel surfing scouts.
You're right that cooper isn't a bonafide "franchise" player but I think he could be a low tier one.
Having him on the spurs with Wemby would just be... man..
If we're looking at C's, Thomas Sorber (Georgetown) should get an eyeball.
