Rasheer Fleming 2025 NBA Draft Profile

Rasheer Fleming 2025 NBA Draft Profile

We are exactly one month away from the 2025 NBA Draft! Today, we will be examining St. Joseph’s Rasheer Fleming. Let’s not waste any more time and jump into it!

Height (no shoes): 6’8.25″ (7’5.25″ wingspan, 9’1″ standing reach)

Weight: 232.4 lbs.

Draft Age: 20.9

Position: Wing

Fleming was an unranked prospect out of Camden High School in Camden, N.J., according to 247sports.com. He joined the Hawks over offers from Albany, Temple, Siena and Saint Francis (PA).

Fleming started 18 of his 31 games as a freshman, but started all 31 games as a sophomore, averaging 10.7 points and 7.4 rebounds on 52.8/32.4/61.2 shooting splits. He drastically improved his shooting consistency in his final season at St. Joe’s in 2024-25, posting 14.7 points on 39.0 percent from 3-point range (4.5 3PA) and 74.3 percent from the free-throw line (2.9 FGA). He also averaged 8.5 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.5 blocks, earning All-A-10 odds for the first time in his career.

Strengths:

Rasheer Fleming’s physical measurables are so tantalizing. His length pops on tape. Nobody has a longer wingspan (relative to height) in the class, and it shows.

He’s a vacuum in the passing lanes and does a great job stunting and recovering off-ball because of his wingspan. Fleming’s an excellent weakside rim protector, and he’s remarkably rangy because of his long strides. There’s value in players who can cover plenty of ground without much wasted motion.

Fleming developed into a reliable long-range threat. He had 11 games with three made triples, and four with four. His release is lightning-quick and he has great lift on his jumper, making it difficult to contest. If you load up 2K and adjust a player’s release to “very quick,” that’s Fleming.

He posted the worst offensive rebounding rate in his career as a junior, but he was still very active on the offensive glass. Even though he didn’t have a ton of touches offensively, Fleming’s motor was never an issue, hunting putbacks and second-chance opportunities. This is another byproduct of his 7-foot-5 wingspan, even though he’s not an elite vertical athlete. He doesn’t need to be.

I also thought Fleming did a respectable job of sealing off mismatches after ball screens. Though St. Joe’s guard play was fairly shaky, at best (in the games I watched), so his reps on-ball were fairly limited. Fleming did occasionally drift into clogged space, but typically had pretty good awareness of where to move if those seals didn’t turn into anything.

Weaknesses:

Fleming was objectively bad at generating self-created opportunities. He’s a bad ballhandler. Every time he took more than 1-2 dribbles, the results were no bueno. He didn’t have any “bag” of reliable moves to go to in isolation–with those reps coming few and far between. More often than not, opponents who swiped down had success.

There’s always room for spot-up 3-point shooters and above-average offensive rebounders, but not being able to dribble against A10 competition–let alone NBA competition–will significantly limit his ceiling offensively if that’s not ironed out.

Fleming also had a bad tendency to jump for joy on defense–getting caught in the air on pump fakes or in situations that would actively put him at a disadvantage. He may have the wingspan of a boring 737, but there were times when it took an extra second to properly process what was happening on- and off-ball, which is a concern.

I also caution against completely buying into a player with only one good season as a shooter. He was a 31.3 percent 3-point shooter (2.7 3PA) and a 63.6 percent free-throw shooter in his first two seasons. Perhaps his growth is legitimate, but I will need to see it before I believe it because he doesn’t have any creation chops to fall back on. He played like a prototypical 3-and-D swing, but how much 3 will be there?

Projection: Top-20 pick

There’s a wide range of outcomes for Fleming as a player. He’s a player that can totally be screwed for a few years if enters the wrong system, but could flourish if he enters the right situation. There’s no shortage of teams looking for rangy 3-and-D wings, and he has the elite measurables to entice a team picking him earlier. If I were to put money on it, I think his shooting translates. Rasheer Fleming has the makings of being an awesome player, but there are still a few glaring weaknesses that need fine-tuning.
