Houston G Kingston Flemings declares for 2026 NBA Draft
Flemings led Houston with 16 points and 5 assists per game in 2025-26.
Houston’s Kingston Flemings is heading to the NBA. The freshman made his expected draft declaration official on Sunday as he said he’d be entering the 2026 NBA Draft. Flemings is widely considered to be a top-10 pick.
Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor had Flemings going No. 8 to the Dallas Mavericks in his latest mock draft. Flemings led Houston with over 16 points and five assists per game in 2025-26.
Flemings was a consensus All-American as the Cougars earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament after finishing second in the Big 12 to Arizona. "Obviously it was a hard decision whether to come back and play with my boys, take it one more year and try to go get the [national championship]," Flemings told USA Today.
"But this opportunity doesn’t come all the time. … Had to make the right decision, for sure. ” The Texas native shot nearly 48% from the field and almost 39% from the 3-point line, though he attempted just 106 shots behind the arc this season.
