The rookie forward has seen limited minutes throughout the series. As Phoenix has looked for more consistency off the bench, some believe Fleming could provide a different look against a dominant Thunder roster.
Flemingâs appeal is his versatility, with his length and defensive instincts. Those tools disrupt passing lanes and contest shots that could have proven valuable against an OKC team that thrives on pace and ball movement. Offensively, he brings energy and a willingness to attack the glass, where the Suns have struggled to generate second-chance opportunities.
