2026 NBA Draft Profile: Kingston Flemings, Houston
Let’s start with Flemings’ numbers, just to get a feel for his production.
The Numbers
Listed at 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds, Flemings finished the 2025-26 season averaging 16.1 points, 5.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. So far as his efficiency, he converted 47.6% of his field goal attempts (12.6/game) and 38.7% of his 3-point attempts (2.9/game), along with 84.5% of his free-throw attempts (3.5/game). In terms of ball control (another aspect of efficiency), he posted a respectable 2.91 assist-to-turnover ratio.
His advanced numbers are arguably just as impressive. Flemings recorded .225 win shares per 48 minutes, a conference-leading 6.6 win shares (3.8 offensive, 2.8 defensive) and a 12.6 box plus-minus (6.6 offensive, 6.0 defensive). His offensive rating (123.3) and defensive rating (96.9) also reflect his balanced impact.
It shouldn’t be any surprise Flemings was not only named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team, but the All-Big 12 1st Team. He’s one of six freshmen to be selected as a Consensus All-American, joining AJ Dybantsa (BYU), Cameron Boozer (Duke), Caleb Wilson (UNC), Darius Acuff Jr. (Arkansas) and Keaton Wagler (Illinois). Each of the aforementioned players is projected to be a top-10 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
