Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott spoke highly of rookie Rasheer Fleming’s recent development after Sunday’s 111-99 home win vs. the Charlotte Hornets (16 points/2 offensive rebounds/zero turnovers/6-8 FG/4-6 3-PT/+1 +/- in 23 minutes off the bench).

*set career-highs in points, field goals made, field goal attempts, 3-pointers made, 3-point attempts, and minutes played*

*averaging 8.6 PPG/2.0 ORB/2.4 DRB/0.2 TOV/1.2 PF/64.0% FG/71.4% 2-PT/61.1% 3-PT/86.0% eFG/+4.6 +/- in 16.8 MPG over the last five games*

(via Phoenix Suns):

“He just puts in the work. He’s continually getting better. We know with young guys, it’s not always linear, it’s not always straight up. But he’s moving straight up pretty fast. It’s always gonna start defensively for him and simple offensively, but now, he’s spacing the floor so well. He’s taking and making them at a better rate and in big moments. I thought tonight, they were big moments. So, steps forward for sure.”
