Phoenix Suns forward Rasheer Fleming has seen limited action during his rookie campaign, but the late first-round selection made the most of his chance in Sunday’s victory against Charlotte, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Coming off the bench, Fleming delivered the best performance of his young career.

He scored a career-high 16 points while shooting an efficient 6-of-8 from the field and logged a personal-best 23 minutes, providing a strong spark for Phoenix’s second unit.

“It was super impressive,” star guard Devin Booker said.

“Just the willingness to wait for his moment and seize it. He’s still all ears and he still wants to learn more. He’s got a big effect on winning basketball games.“

Fleming has played 1 season for the Suns. He has averaged 3.4 points in 38 regular-season games.
