THE SEASON SO FAR

Rasheer Fleming’s first 19 games of the 2025-26 season were defined by a brutal struggle for survival, as the fringe forward bled value almost every time he stepped on the hardwood. Relegated entirely to brief bench cameos, he actively hurt his team with erratic shot selection and poor awareness. Look no further than his stint on 12/28 vs NOP. Despite chipping in 5 points over a season-high 15 minutes, he posted an abysmal -12.6 Impact because he chucked up ill-advised perimeter shots—going 1-for-5 from deep—and offered zero defensive resistance. Even when he crashed the glass for 6 rebounds on 11/19 vs POR, his total offensive ineptitude wasted critical possessions. Missing all four of his field goal attempts that night dragged him to a dismal -7.9 Impact. He did manage a fleeting moment of competence on 12/24 vs LAL, earning a +1.7 Impact. Scoring 7 points on a highly efficient 2-of-3 from the floor, Fleming generated positive value simply by playing within himself and avoiding the careless mistakes that normally plague his minutes.

Rasheer Fleming spent the deep winter months clawing his way out of garbage-time irrelevance to finally earn genuine rotation minutes. For weeks, his court time was a disaster class in offensive hesitation, bottoming out entirely on 02/24 vs BOS. During that outing, he logged 21 empty minutes and posted a miserable -12.3 Impact score because he completely vanished on offense, bricking all three of his attempts while failing to record a single assist. His coaching staff kept trusting him, and the sheer repetition slowly cured his erratic play. Even when his scoring was modest, like his eight-point night on 02/26 vs LAL, he still managed a +3.3 Impact by crashing the glass for six rebounds and executing his role perfectly. The ultimate payoff arrived on 03/08 vs CHA. Fleming erupted for 16 points on a blistering 4-for-6 from deep, generating a massive +12.0 Impact score by taking decisive, high-value shots within the flow of the offense.

Rasheer Fleming spent the twilight of the season trapped in a miserable shooting slump that repeatedly torpedoed his team's second unit. During an abysmal 04/10 vs LAL appearance, he dragged the offense into the mud by bricking five of his six three-point attempts, resulting in a disastrous -16.6 Impact score. He occasionally found his rhythm, logging a +11.7 Impact on 03/22 vs TOR by pairing 11 points with seven hard-nosed rebounds to anchor the bench. Yet, even when his raw scoring totals looked respectable, erratic decisions plagued his minutes. Look at his outing on 03/31 vs ORL. He managed 11 points in just 16 minutes, but still posted a -3.1 Impact because his trigger-happy 1-for-5 perimeter shooting killed crucial possessions. When a reserve bleeds this much value on a nightly basis, firing up contested jumpers is a quick ticket out of the rotation.

IMPACT TIMELINE

Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.

PATTERNS

Struggling. Fleming has posted negative impact in 82% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 45% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.

Average defender. Fleming doesn't hurt you defensively, but he's not making opponents uncomfortable either.

Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: -6.9, second-half: -3.0. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.

Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 2 games. Longest cold streak: 12 games.
