Why is it Andrew Fleming is ranked so low?
Unranked 3* by Rivals
Evaluated a 78 (3 star) by ESPN. Meanwhile Josh Reaves is ranked an 84 (4 star)
Scout has him as a two star.
247 has Fleming OUT of their top 247.
Fleming is listed by Verbal commits as having had 27 offers including the likes of Gonzaga, Iowa State, Ohio State, Stanford...
What is it we're seeing that college basketball coaches saw? What is different between Fleming, ranked by ESPN as the 52nd best shooting guard in the country, and Reaves, ranked by ESPN as the 23rd best shooting guard in the country?
Allow me to guess:
1. ESPN and those scouting services hate Iowa, therefore rate their players lower. (conspiracy)
2. Fleming has less than average lateral quickness and could struggle defending at this level.
3. His release point is low and also shoots a set shot mainly.(in games I've watched) Those two things and having marginal quickness could make it difficult for him to get a shot off.
4. I'm sure you'll go with #1

Just my opinion, I was thinking something along the line of his assets don't measure well in AAU ball or even on Oak HIll's team. Player rankings are often measures of individual skills and not team ball.
But on a thread that was a nice compilation of player assessments, instead of just giving my opinion I thought this could be a good discussion point.
