Fleming is considered a potential first-round pick after showing improvement across the board in every statistical category this past season. He brings immense physicality to the court every game at 240 pounds, while providing consistent floor spacing.
The 20-year-old boasts a reported 7-foot, 5-inch wingspan that enabled him to defend and protect the paint for the Hawks. He showcased his versatility throughout the year, finishing as the only player in college basketball with at least 60 dunks and 40 3-pointers.
Fleming will have the opportunity to improve his draft positioning in private workouts and the combine on May 11-18 in Chicago, Illinois. He is looking to become the first draft pick from Saint Joseph's since DeAndre' Bembry went 21st overall in 2016.
The 2025 NBA draft will occur June 25-26 in New York City.
