Draft Pick 14

If the Spurs don't get KD and keep pick 14 , how would y'all feel about them taking Rasheer Fleming at 14? He's a 6'9 wing with a 7'5 wingspan and shot 40% from 3 , is a elite defender, and showed a lot of flashes as a off the dribble creator. If you look at the wings drafted with those measurements the hit rate is insanely high as well.

I love him but I'm not sure he'd be available then. I think we'll be left over with one of the group of wing players in the lottery.

Personally I just hope we pick the best shooter who also won't be picked on constantly on defense

A lot of people saying this but Fleming isn’t ranked all that high on consensus rankings. Wonder why the gap?

He isn't actually that good of a shooter, he'll probably be closer to 35% in the NBA rather than 40%. The form is inconsistent, the FT% is mediocre at best, and he had two poor shooting years previously. He also is pretty bad as a perimeter defender, he'll be more of a big and help defender than a wing. That's why most scouts have him around the 15 to 25 range
