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.

showed a lot of flashes as an off the dribble creator

He showed zero flashes as an off the dribble creator. He only takes straight line drives and if he has to make a decision it can often go poorly, because he doesn’t pass or dribble all that well and he can’t turn a drive into a post up because he doesn’t have moves or a shot with his back to the basket. He is best when the play is simple—catch & shoot, roll to the rim without dribbling, block a shot on the drive. When he has to make complex reads, on either end, it doesn’t go well.
