Philon has his issues, there's no denying that, but he's such a dog. Dude isn't scared of anyone or anything. I think he's got the chance to be a solid NBA POA defender because of his wingspan and his attitude. He won't be great but can improve a lot.

Yep, and he was a much better defender in 24-25 when he played off of Spears. We have proof of concept there. Defensive metrics also got better after each tournament game this year.

I also would not mind Flemings. I think if you put him on a team where he's not the focal point, he could really flourish, and you look up in two years and he's a key piece on a playoff team on offense and defense. He was literally the only consistent offense for Houston this year and had to do everything.

Sorry for blowing everyone up as well, but a lot of these guards being below 6'4" and below 6'3," imo, will turn some teams off them. I just think there is too much value placed size and length that some teams will cross a few of these guys off their list.

I've always thought of Flemings as a Cason Wallace type of player. They measured at the same height, but Wallace has a 5" better wingspan.

Wallace is a better defender than Flemings will be, but Flemings has more to his offensive game, in my opinion.

We could do a lot worse than Flemings as our Kyrie heir.

Would love Anderson at 30 but there's no way he'll be available there. The plus 5.5" wingspan and strong testing numbers will get him over the line for somebody.

Thinking Detroit, Toronto, or Denver would like to have him.
