Malachi ain't it...

Couldn’t name many teams/player who have a good back up point guard.

It seems like a near impossible position to fill, most back up point guards in the league are borderline to get cut from the nba.

Best bets are rolling without one, and if you’re trying to win bring in a 37 year old point guard like a Lowry just to run your bench

I always like TJ McConnell as backup pg. Great defense, pass first, crafty mid range shooter

Ricky Rubio pre-injury last year was pretty good too

[ItsDanger]

His numbers are better when he played more which won't happen on this team at least. Using him as off ball shooter isn't his style, not sure why they picked him. Heavy ISO offense with little ball movement desnt utilize his skills. Defensively, he hasn't been good.

Except that isn't true. His biggest stretch was December where he played 218 minutes over 10 games with a TS of 49%.

[Indeed]

Have been saying this since his rookie season, he is not able to create separation for his shot. It was a weak draft, so we kind of expected.

Hard to blame Nurse playing high minutes with our starters, particularly with injuries to Porter and Achiuwa.

Look at his career numbers when playing >20 minutes, it's a 38 game sample. They're solid. He's the type that needs to play more to play better. That's not conducive to a back up role though.

And he isn't even close to sniffing a starting role, anywhere. So Flynn has to figure out how to be a backup.

You can't play a **** player more minutes because he might become a bad player. Doesn't work that way.

I just don't think McConnell will be enough for us to be a better team. I think we need someone like Rozier who can put more rim pressure.

Rubio was signed by the Cavs, they need him for the PnR to utilize their big.

yes, his numbers as a starter were pretty good last year, if we trade Fred I want to see him get 25-30 mpg to play out the season.

The point is, some players play better a little tired, more in the flow of the game, not afraid of getting pulled, etc. Anyways, this style of player is more useful when using ball screen offense more, not ISO and chucking. They must have known that when picking him which makes you wonder about management.

Good players play well, bad players play badly. It's that simple.

The 'more minutes' is an excuse with an incredibly small sample size. 19 games over the last two seasons with mixed results.

Numbers are there, and the contrast requires explanation. However in his role on this team, that's not adequate. Needs to produce in limited minutes.

I clearly stated career numbers. 38 games >20 minutes. My point doesn't really contradict your opening statement. The fact is, he won't get those minutes on this team and he needs to be productive in 10-12 minutes,

He won't get those minutes on ANY NBA team. He's not an NBA player at this rate.

I get the narrative of pushing that Nurse is holding this kid back. He isn't.

He's inconsistent because he's not good. Not because of some minute and flow distribution.

It's not crazy to say that players will perform better if they play more minutes. And, generally, when someone is playing well, Nurse plays them more minutes. But Flynn's splits don't really show him performing better the more minutes he plays, especially this season.

His numbers when he plays > 20 minutes are not even good though. What am I missing here?

40+ mins - 3 games - 19/4/7 on 49.9TS% (EW)
30+ mins - 17 games - 14/5/5 - 51.6TS%
20+ mins - 18 games - 10/3/2 - 57.1TS%

So overall just guesstimating here is a below average efficiency player when playing 20+ mins who is turnstile on defense and does not do much of anything with the ball
