Rasheer Fleming

Rasheer Fleming grew up in Camden, New Jersey, playing basketball at Camden High School and for the NJ Scholars Elite AAU team. He committed to play collegiately at Saint Joseph's. As a freshman, he mostly came off the bench, starting 15 of his 31 appearances. He became a full-time starter the following year, averaging 10.7 points on 53/32/61 shooting, 7.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 26.8 minutes. In 2024, he attended the Damian Lillard Formula Zero Elite Camp. As a junior, he earned some accolades, once named the Atlantic 10 Player of the Week in addition to earning a spot on the All-Conference First Team and Legends Classic All-Tournament Team. Fleming saw 31.3 minutes per game and averaged 14.7 points on 53/39/74 shooting, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 1.4 steals and 1.3 assists. Fleming is a frontcourt player with an NBA body and athleticism. He can function as a pick-and-pop or pick-and-roll man, capable of drilling catch-and-shoot 3s and catching high-flying lobs. He hustles on both sides of the ball and is especially active on defense with his hands as a shot-blocker and pass-disruptor. While he won't run an offense, he can make reads with the ball. When he doesn't have the ball, he knows how to cut. Fleming fits a role as a modern 3-and-D big man that essentially every NBA team finds valuable. He should be able to play center in small-ball lineups and power forward in standard configurations. That gives him sixth-man upside out of the gate. Depending on how his offensive game develops, Fleming shares similarities to players like Myles Turner, Larry Nance Jr. and Noah Vonleh.
