Why Rasheer Fleming is the Under-the-Radar Draft Steal Every NBA Team Needs
The Data Doesn’t Lie: Fleming’s Elite Efficiency
When your shooting splits read 53/39/74 as a 6’9” forward with a 7’5” wingspan, my Bayesian models start buzzing louder than a Madison Square Garden timeout horn. Saint Joseph’s Rasheer Fleming isn’t just some stat-stuffing mid-major anomaly—he’s a prototype modern NBA role player hiding in plain sight.
Defense First, But Offense Isn’t Far Behind
Let’s address the elephant in the analytics lab: Fleming guards positions 3 through 5 while ranking in the 92nd percentile for steal rate among NCAA forwards. His defensive EPM (2.8) would’ve placed him top-5 in last year’s draft class. Yet front offices keep overthinking these selections—meanwhile, contenders like Miami are salivating over his Robert Covington-esque versatility.
Why Playoff Teams Should Bite
The Thunder have 37 first-round picks through 2030. The Spurs need to surround Wembanyama with shooters who won’t embarrass themselves defensively. At pick #25? Fleming isn’t just the safe choice; he’s the statistically optimal one. My models give him an 83% chance to be a rotation player by Year 2—compare that to the 47% average for his projected draft range.
Bottom Line: In a draft obsessed with upside, sometimes the smartest play is grabbing a player who already does NBA things at an NBA level. And yes, that includes hitting corner threes over outstretched arms (42% on those, for the tracking data nerds).

ڈیٹا نے بول دیا ہے!
رشیر فلیمنگ وہ پلے ہے جو ہر NBA ٹیم کو چاہیے، لیکن کوئی بات نہیں کر رہا۔ 6’9” کا قد، 7’5” کے بازو، اور شوٹنگ میں 53/39/74؟ یہ تو ایسے ہے جیسے 2K گیم میں کوئی چِٹ کھیل رہا ہو!
دفاع؟ اور بھی بہترین!
یہ لڑکا پوزیشن 3 سے 5 تک سب کو روکتا ہے، اور چوری کی شرح میں 92 فیصدیل ہے۔ میری ماڈلز کہتی ہیں کہ اس کے Year 2 میں روٹیشن پلے بننے کے 83% چانسز ہیں۔
ٹیموں کو جاگنا چاہیے!
تھنڈر اور سپرز جیسی ٹیموں کو اس پر نظر رکھنی چاہیے۔ #25 پک پر یہ صرف محفوظ انتخاب نہیں، بلکہ ایک اسمارٹ موو ہے۔
آخر میں: جب سب اونچی اڑان کی بات کرتے ہیں، کبھی کبھی زمین پر رہنا بھی اچھا ہوتا ہے۔ اور ہاں، یہ کارنر تھری بھی مارتا ہے (42%)! 😏
## Statistik-Freak-Alarm!
Wenn Rasheer Flemings Shooting-Splits (53/39/74) meine Algorithmen zum Überhitzen bringen, weiß ich: Dieser Typ ist kein normaler Mid-Major-Spieler. Er ist der heimliche Star dieses Drafts!
## Verteidigung? Läuft!
- Perzentil bei Steals – und kann Positionen 3 bis 5 decken. Mein Modell gibt ihm eine 83%-Chance, schon in Jahr 2 Rotation zu sein. Warum überhaupt noch diskutieren?
P.S.: Sieht er aus wie ein Standard-2K-Charakter? Absolut. Spielt er wie einer? Zum Glück nicht!
Was denkt ihr – übersehen die Teams ihn wieder?
O Homem que os Dados Amam
Se os números fossem poesia, Rasheer Fleming seria o novo Vinicius de Moraes do basquete. Com 53/39/74 de percentuais e uma envergadura de 7’5”, ele é o sonho molhado de qualquer analista de dados.
Defesa? Ofensa? Por que não os dois?
Ele defende como um pitbull e ataca como um sniper - e ainda rouba bolas no 92º percentil. Se isso não é versatilidade, eu sou uma bicicleta.
Para os GMs que amam estatísticas
83% de chance de ser rotacionista no segundo ano? Isso é mais garantido que café brasileiro depois do almoço. Quem não draftar esse cara merece uma aula intensiva de analytics!
E aí, torcedores, tão prontos para ver esse monstro estatístico dominar a NBA?
Hindi lang siya stats, pang-NBA na talaga!
Tingnan mo si Rasheer Fleming - 6’9” na forward na may 7’5” wingspan tapos shooter pa? Parang cheat code sa NBA 2K! Yung shooting splits niya (53/39/74) halos kasing ganda ng itsura ko pagkatapos mag-gym (charot).
Defense? Oo naman! Nasa 92nd percentile sa steals among NCAA forwards. Kung basketball ang tinitira mo, baka mawala rin yung bola mo kay Fleming!
At sa mga teams na naghahanap ng sureball na player: 83% chance maging rotation player by Year 2? Mas mataas pa sa chance ko makahanap ng jowa dito sa Cebu!
[GIF suggestion: Player hitting corner threes then stealing the ball in one smooth motion]
Kayong mga NBA GMs, huwag niyo nang overthinkin. Draft nyo na ‘to bago mahuli ang lahat! Game na ba tayo dyan?
Wer braucht schon Glück, wenn man Statistik hat?
Rasheer Fleming ist der Typ Spieler, bei dem selbst mein Excel-Sheet vor Begeisterung überläuft. 53/39/74 Shooting Splits bei 7’5” Flügelspannweite? Das ist kein Zufall, das ist Mathematik!
Defensive wie eine Berliner Mauer
- Perzentil bei Steals – da können sich so manche NBA-Stars noch eine Scheibe von abschneiden. Und trotzdem wird er ignoriert? Mein Modell sagt: 83% Chance auf Rotation in Jahr 2. Wetten, dass Miami ihn schon im Visier hat?
Also liebe Scouts: Manchmal ist der langweiligste Pick statistisch gesehen der beste. Und wer will sich schon mit Bayes scherlegen?
Was meint ihr – wird er der nächste Covington oder einfach nur ein weiterer unterschätzter Diamant?
Настоящая находка для НБА!
Рашир Флеминг — это не просто ещё один игрок из колледжа. С его показателями (53/39/74) и размахом рук в 7’5”, он выглядит как персонаж из 2K, которого забыли настроить. Но данные не врут: его защитные навыки (92-й процентиль по перехватам) и эффективность делают его идеальным выбором для команд вроде «Оклахомы» или «Сан-Антонио».
Почему все его пропустили?
Может, потому что он слишком хорош, чтобы быть правдой? Мои модели дают ему 83% шанс стать игроком ротации уже к второму сезону. А вы всё ещё сомневаетесь? 😏
Как думаете, кто его заберёт? Жду ваших прогнозов в комментариях!
Це не просто гравець, це статистичний шедевр!
Якщо ваші моделі даних гудуть, як розгніваний натовп на Медісон-сквер-гарден, коли бачать показники Рашира Флемінга (53/39/74!), то вам пора в НБА. Цей хлопець – готовий до ліги прямо зараз!
Захист? Так! Атака? Тоже так!
Флемінг – це як Роберт Ковінгтон, тільки з більш точним кидком. 92-й персентиль за перехватами? Мої дані кажуть, що він вже завтра може грати у фіналі.
Хто візьме його на драфті? Ваш хід, генеральні менеджери! 😉
Ang Algorithm Ko Ay Sumisigaw!
Kapag ang stats mo ay 53/39/74 at may 7’5” wingspan, kahit ang mga modelo ko sa Python ay nagkakandaloko! Si Rasheer Fleming ay hindi lang pang-MVP ng PBA, pang-NBA na talaga!
Defense? Check. Offense? Double Check!
92nd percentile sa steals tapos kayang bantayan positions 3 hanggang 5? Parang si Junemar Fajardo na may three-point shot! Bakit pa titingin sa iba, mga GMs?
Mukha Bang Default Character Sa 2K?
Pero seriously, sa dami ng picks ng Thunder at pangangailangan ng Spurs, bakit hindi siya kunin? 83% chance maging rotation player? Game na!
Kayo Na Ang Mag-decide: Worth it ba si Fleming sa #25 pick o mas gusto niyo mag-risk sa iba? Comment niyo na! 😆
- Thunder's Switch-All Defense Stifles Pacers: Why Simplicity Wins in the NBA PlayoffsAs a data-driven analyst, I break down how Oklahoma City's ruthless switching defense neutralized Indiana's ball movement in Games 4-5. When Shai and J-Dub outscored Haliburton's trio 48-22 in isolation plays, the math became undeniable. Sometimes basketball isn't about complexity - it's about having two killers who can win 1-on-1 matchups when it matters most. Our advanced metrics show why this strategy could seal the championship in Game 6.
- Tyrese Haliburton: Play Smart, Not Just Hard – Why the Pacers' Future Hinges on Controlled AggressionAs a data-driven NBA analyst, I break down why Tyrese Haliburton's composure in high-stakes games is more valuable than raw aggression. With Indiana's salary structure rivaling OKC's, strategic patience could make them an Eastern Conference powerhouse—if their young star avoids career-derailing risks. Numbers don't lie: calculated growth beats reckless heroics.
- Data-Driven Analysis: Should the Golden State Warriors Adopt the Indiana Pacers' Offensive Blueprint?As the NBA Finals unfold, basketball analysts are drawing parallels between the Golden State Warriors and the Indiana Pacers. Both teams showcase dynamic, fast-paced offenses with an emphasis on ball movement and player mobility. But can the Warriors benefit from adopting the Pacers' model? As a London-based sports data analyst specializing in NBA metrics, I delve into the numbers to compare these two offensive systems, examining pace, shot selection, and ball movement to determine if a tactical shift could revive the Warriors' championship aspirations.
