Maluach had 18 fourth quarter points, and the Valley team won that quarter 45-22 to get it to overtime. It's still a little disheartening that they were that far behind to begin with, but it's nice to see the team get a win; I was starting to wonder if they'd somehow manage to go 0-for the season. :lol:

Fleming and Baugh were big, too. Brea hit a couple of important shots, but he's still having a lot of rough shooting nights. 6-20 overall, 2-12 from three tonight. He's 43% from the field, 31% from three on the season.

Fleming and Malauch helped the valley suns come from behind to win it in OT.

I don’t know who Damian Baugh is, but that was a big shot to send it to OT…also I just learned that the g league does an Elam ending for OT. I’m all for that.
Baugh has been putting up decent numbers for the valley suns. Kinda looks like he fits the suns mould as a combo guard who can get downhill. His defensive highlights from his stint with the hornets last year look ok. 6’4 with a 6’8 wingspan.

Brea looks like a mini-Book out there. Hope he can make the jump and contribute at some point. Fleming is bouncy and quicker than he looks, would like to see him have more opportunities to use his athleticism. His shot looks good but the wind up is a bit slow, at his size he shouldn't have trouble getting it off tho. Maluach is still raw but at least he's using his size in the paint. I could care less about him dribbling from the 3pt line. I'd rather see sound footwork and a variety of post moves and hooks against defenders.

So far I think I like Fleming the most out of our rooks. He seems like he's actually really close to being able to just come in and contribute regularly off the bench. If he can play hard defense and hit his shots at a reasonable clip, that's all we could really ask for from him. The fact that he is agile and has some bounce to him is a nice bonus. I like Maluach too, but I'm just giving him a longer timeline and not expecting much from him this season as he grows and learns the NBA game.

Here are the Fleming and Maluach highlights:



Fleming has some of that Marion type quick second jump along with a much better shooting stroke.
