Flemming has made incredible strides in the past couple months. The 5-foot-9 guard used to take some bad shots and over-dribble a bit, but he’s made a complete 180 in terms of his pick and roll discernment and decision-making. He actually has really solid passing vision and is developing into a facilitating PG in some ways. Flemming will still have an opportunity to get into his bag and showcase his quickness off the bounce, too, which has always been a cornerstone of his game.

Flemming, a guard out of the Beaver Country Day School in Massachusetts, comes in at #23 among the point guards and #106 overall in this update. The 5’9″ lead guard makes the move to the prep ranks and has the chance to be a breakout performer this winter. He plays with elite change of direction, has a lot of wiggle with the ball in his hands, and repeatedly gets to his spots off the bounce. His ability to find teammates in scoring positions and to finish with touch over size in the paint also stands out. On the other end of the floor, he does a nice job of defending at the point of attack, using his quickness to his advantage and keeping opposing guards out of the paint.

Flemming has a special handle and knack for getting to his spots in the mid-range. He’s a natural born scorer who uses his body, quick handle, and low center of gravity to breeze by defenders before stopping on a dime for middies, which he’s quite efficient at. His passing vision also continues to improve as he plays in the NE Elite and Beaver Country Day systems, both of which promote passing the basketball and getting off of it quickly. Flemming is going to be a highly sought after D3 recruit but will have a hard time getting to the next level because of his lack of size. Regardless, things can change with a huge season at Beaver playing alongside other potential scholarship prospects.

Yesterday was by far the best I’ve seen Flemming play. The 5-foot-9 guard has been known to take some difficult shots (many of which he can make) at times, but he was a pure point guard yesterday at WPI camp. He consistently got into the paint and made nice feeds to cutters and three-point shooters, and he only took mid-range shots and threes when they were open, which made him significantly more efficient and effective as a result. Yesterday was a glimpse into what he can be at Beaver next year if he really buys into his passing vision and unselfishness. He should be a D3 guy.

Flemming was one of the Elite 75’s leading scorers. The soon-to-be 2028 guard has good stop and go dribble moves and is really effective in the triple threat and as a driver. He needs to figure out a better balance between looking to score and setting up his teammates, but that’ll come with time, experience, and playing in the Beaver system. When he actually looks to facilitate, he shows off solid vision and makes me think he can be a really solid point guard and game manager. 

Flemming, of NE Elite, had an incredible performance against Defy The Odds in Sunday’s championship game. Though he took some questionable shots at times, he earned the green light to take them because he made a bunch to start the game. He has a super quick and shifty and handle and even though he isn’t tall, he has great change of speed and direction and good elevation on his mid range jumper. He hit a good number of super difficult shots with lots of contests, and he has good vision when he really leans into it. Bright future for Flemming, who will transfer to Beaver Country Day next season and will likely switch to the class of 2028.

Enjoys the game a lot working on his skills with a couple teammates after a scrimmage early in the season. He is a slasher but can take his guy off the dribble from deep. He had a nasty spin move layup late in the game. Kingston can shoot off the catch and the dribble from college range. He embarrases on the ball defenders at times creating separation. He does a nice job with on the ball defense as he tries to speed the dribbler up. He will be in contention for league All-Star this year and next but MVP consideration next year. If he continues to work hard D3 coaches will want to give him a chance.

+37 (#206 to #169)

Flemming, a guard out of Newton South High School in Massachusetts, rose 37 spots in this update and now sits at #169 overall. Flemming is an undersized guard that has turned some heads this winter with his two-way effectiveness. Defensively, he’s really disruptive at the point of attack, using his quickness to generate turnovers. Offensively, he has the ball on a string as a decision maker and shows the ability to score it in a variety of ways, particularly in the mid-range and with a floater game around the rim.

I’ve always been very enamored with Flemming’s game. Despite his lack of size (only 5-foot-9), he makes up for it with incredible quickness, speed, conditioning and skill — everything you’d need a short guard to possess. There won’t be virtually any guards in the MIAA that’ll be able to contain him for a full 32 minutes; he’ll eventually get off via his mid range jumper/floater and his ability to finish at the rim with contact. If you go under on screens, though, he can punish you from deep. The junior guard will be a significant piece for Newton South this season and will turn heads all year. Definite D3 prospect.

Flemming is unbelievably fun to watch. The 5-foot-9 point guard is obviously very undersized, but he’s super quick with the ball in his hands and can get by basically anybody as a result. He has always had an amazing handle and a quick first step, but he showed off a really nice mid range game and three point shot on Monday, which I hadn’t necessarily seen before. Flemming is going to ball out for Newton South this year and will probably transfer schools eventually to improve his recruitment. He’s definitely a D3 player.
