Here’s some interesting size comparisons for Fleming:

Heights are barefoot:

Fleming 6’8.25 232, 7’5.25 ws and a 9’1 reach
Siakam 6’8.25 226, 7’3.25 ws and an 8’11.5 reach
JJJ 6’9.75 236, 7’5.25 ws and a 9’2 reach
Jarrett Allen 6’9 233, 7’5.25 ws and a 9’1.5 reach
Bam 6’8.75 242, 7’2.75 ws and a 9’0 reach
AD 6’9.25 222, 7’5.5 ws and a 9’0 reach
Naz Reid 6’8.75 255, 7’3.25 ws and a 9’1 reach
KD 6’9 215, 7’4.75 ws and a 9’2 reach

Fleming is pretty huge

Not doubting your numbers Split, but this makes me curious. They always talk about JJJ and Allen and KD as 6’11 or 7’ while Bam and Reid are always undersized at 6’9. Maybe get Fleming to wear whatever shoes Allen is wearing. And to grow out a ‘fro.

I just pulled them straight from the nba website during their respective combines…always possible they grew a bit, like KD did…or Giannis. Believe JJJ was super young, so definitely possible he grew.

Here are their official heights according to NBA.com:

Fleming: 6’9” (his official Timberwolves profile) or 6’8” (his draft prospect profile)
Siakam: 6’8”
Jackson, Jr.: 6’10”
Allen: 6’9”
Adebayo: 6’9”
Davis: 6’10”
Reid: 6’9”
Durant: 6’11”

Supposedly, official NBA heights have been barefoot since 2019.

All of them are within 3/4 inch of the draft combine heights, except for KD who is 2 inches taller.

I think someone else already posted this video, but I just got around to watching it.

I was impressed with Fleming's ability to recall specific details of the plays and the scouting reports and strategies that went into his decision making. He's not just an athlete. Hopefully, he can think the game fast enough for the NBA, but it's clear that he DOES have a basketball mind.
