So, according to reports, Flemings and Wagler faced off in a one-on-one workout for the Clippers.

And Wagler dominated Flemings in this setting. This solidified KW as a top-5 selection and dropped KF to the final PG drafted in the top-10.

Frank talks a lot. I listened to it, I took it as Wagler played two games. Team and then 1v1. Team he wasn't missing and 1-1 he did good.

Could be wrong, I would except a the bigger guy to win 1v1 most of the times.

Hawks coach Quin Snyder says a pre-draft Zoom revealed the presence, charisma, and sincerity that made Kingston Flemings a player Atlanta wanted at No. 8.

This should readily be on display during Summer League from the start.

King didn't have a good 1st game but he also didn't have a bad game either.

Bad shooting night, but 9 assist, 1 turnover, 4 steals. His PG skills looked good, good IQ, he was always looking to get other involved before going to get his shot first, and his defense looked great.

The only thing i'm disappointed with King, is that we didn't get 1 highlight dunk from him in the whole game. I think he could be a Vince/Francis/Kemp type of star where even casual fans are looking for his highlights on a nightly basis

Ranking the Top NBA Prospects at Las Vegas Summer League

10. Kingston Flemings, Atlanta Hawks



Kingston Flemings joined a loaded, experienced Houston team for his lone season of college ball and quickly became its on-court leader. He brings his club together on the offensive end and sets a feisty tone on defense. He also zips around the floor with the kind of burst that makes you wonder if your vision is going blurry.

He might be more of a dot-connector than a franchise's driving force, but he could also challenge that notion by upping his three-point volume and becoming more of a scoring threat from distance. If he's lighting it up from long range in Las Vegas, he might be an impossible cover given how much of a downhill threat he is.

Need him to be a bit more selfish, but all the leadership quality are there.
