Kingston Flemings

Kingston Elijah Flemings, born in Newport News, Virginia and raised in San Antonio, was 2025 Texas Mr. Basketball before joining Kelvin Sampson's Houston program. As a freshman he averaged 16.1 points, 5.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals while shooting 38.7% from three across 37 games, becoming the first freshman in Houston history to earn an All-America selection and landing on the consensus second team. A 6'4" lead guard, Flemings blends downhill burst, transition passing and improved perimeter shooting with the on-ball defensive intensity Sampson's system demands, though a slender 190-pound frame and streaky half-court efficiency are the swing traits scouts flag. Atlanta selected him eighth overall in 2026, projecting him as a two-way combo guard who can defend multiple positions and develop into a secondary playmaker alongside its backcourt.
