On July 17, the NBA Summer League, the Suns defeated the Timberwolves 85-89. Two of the Suns' three rookies in this game - Maruac, Fleming, Kobe Brea rested. The one who performed best in the end was Ellis on the training camp contract, 23 points, Iguodaro made 7 of 10 shots, 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Ryan Dunn made 3 of 13 shots and 2 of 8 three-pointers as the rotation forward last season.

You can see a lot of details in this game. Ryan Dunn is still a striker who mainly scores, and he should only be around 2.01-2.02 meters in his shoes. Fleming is much taller than him. Dunn made 3 of 13 shots + 2 of 8 three-pointers and 8 shots in 26 minutes to score 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block and 6 fouls. He wanted to be the first arrow to score in Xia Lian, but unfortunately he felt bad in this game. Rashiel Fleming on the bench is completely different. He only played for 16 minutes, with 3 of 7 shots and 1 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 7 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, with a shooting percentage of 42.9%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 25%. His rebounding and Maruac, who started, were the highest in the team. Fleming, who had a naked foot 2.03 meters, had obviously better defense.

Fleming only played two games in the summer league. The first game was 13 minutes and 53 seconds, 3 shots, 1 of 6 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 7 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. His mission to play was to open up space, defend, and grab rebounds. This 20-year-old young forward is the 3D functional player that the league needs most.

Dunn played 74 games in the Suns rotation last season, averaging 19.1 minutes per game, scoring 6.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 43%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 31.1%. He still scored more points because the Suns focus on offense, but the brand new Suns no longer focus on offense.

With Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks joining this Suns, the new season will definitely move towards improving defense. In addition, the joining of Marvel and Maruac will completely abandon the full attack system of last season. The Suns will also use Green/Book as the offensive core. Forward players like Dunn will be compressed. His effect on the court is not as good as Fleming who can defend and grab. Fleming is the second round No. 1 pick, and he also won the Suns' four-year rookie contract, and he believes he has the hope to enter the main rotation directly.
