Rasheer Fleming didn’t let fellow Phoenix Suns rookie Khaman Maluach hog all the praise in Sunday’s 111-99 win against the Charlotte Hornets, cashing in on a career-best 16 points in 23 minutes off the bench.
He was instrumental in Phoenix (37-27) keeping its nose in front of the road warrior Charlotte (32-33) — which had won 10 straight away games — with Fleming draining two of his career-most four 3s in the third quarter.

The 3-ball stroke is a part of the game Fleming has spent the most time on between the G League and NBA, and he is now seeing the work pay off with his 55.6% clip (8 for 15) this month. The 6-foot-9 rookie shot 7 for 17 from 3 in February.
