Why it matters: Okongwu made a similar comparison, calling Flemings the fastest player he has played with. Two veterans pointing to the same trait suggests the rookie's pace stands out in practice as well as games.

By the numbers: Flemings: 8.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game in 2026-27 through 8 games. Daniels: 9.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game through 9 games.

What to watch: Watch whether Flemings' speed in the open floor keeps translating into assists as his rookie season continues.
