If Flynn has an NBA career, it's likely at the deep end of a bench. His game is better suited for overseas. He should be moved at this deadline for a future second (if someone is willing to offer it), or as salary in a bigger move.
Conversely, Dowtin always seems to find a way to be effective when he hits the floor. I think his on-ball defense is at the NBA level, and that's a useful skill to have at the end of a bench. I'd like to see more in a sustained run of play.
That's what I have been saying, just give him an extended chance with a couple starters at least. Let him run the offense for a while. If it works then Fred can have more rest minutes.
Against Portland, Jeff plays 2 minutes, throws a beautiful PNR lob to Koloko, and game ends. We get these tantalizing glimpses but Nick never gives him a longer chance. And he has long arms and has shown the ability to keep the ball in front of him.
The only, only thing Flynn does better is shoot threes, and he did hit two last night. But overall he has trouble scoring and gives up too much on D. Not for lack of effort either, just too small
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.
