What do you all think? I know its early, I know he hasn't played one NBA regular season game, but what do you think?

Jason Kidd, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Chauncy Billups, Kobe Bryant, Tony Parker, Manu, Brandon Roy, Steve Nash, Baron Davis... no, no I'm afraid he has no chance unless a lot of guys get hurt, or he averages 20/10/5 or 30/5/2 as a rookie

Down the road maybe, let us see how he does this season

Sky is the limit tho

Depends what you mean. If you mean actual All-Star, no. The Western spots will be awful tough to get for the foreseeable future. I mean, Al Jefferson can't even crack the team. If you mean "high level PG" then yes, I think he's a serious talent and has a great chance to be special.

oh lol, yeah I meant eventual... not this year. My bad.

oh heck yeah then. only a handful of those guys will be around in 3-5 years. Kidd, Nash, Davis, Bryant, Billups, Manu should really start to drop off soon and their replacements aren't really up to par. Monte Ellis, Eric Gordon, Mayo, Harden really don't strike me as being the all-star material to rival the NBA's current guard group.

To be fair, Jefferson can't crack the team because the voting system is absurd. I've never seen a bigger joke than the NBA all-star vote. Shaq and David West got on the allstar team instead of Jefferson. biggest joke of the year

Shaq was legitimately more valuable than Jefferson, and remained a player who had a bigger impact on the game. Higher efficiency, more fouls drawn (tons more), a way better passer and a much more imposing presence. He's even a better defender.

Al plays more minutes and is an excellent scorer (and rebounder), but his time hasn't come yet. Shaq's back East now, maybe this is his year.

West, on the other hand, well... that shouldn't really have happened.

Rookie/Sophomore game ought to be a lock. That's during All-Star weekend.

Too bad Love won't play against Flynn

Rookie/Soph should have been a lock for Love also.

Down the road I could see it for Flynn. His has an all-star skill set (fast, gets to the line, true pg, plays def)

Anyone see Flynn as All-Star material? !!!!!

What's has happenned in Minnesota? Has arrived a rotten stash of marijuana? True PG? Plays def? .... Are you joking?

I must remember you that the boy is only 20 years old and if you want to see Johnny as All Star the first is let him work and don't say that he is a future all star. He has a lot of weaknesses to enhance, for exemple he loss his control a lot of times, attacking and defending. While a team leadered by Ricky looks like ....

... and don't want to say who is Al Jefferson in this picture.

Do you watch basketball high?

Yes, at least enough to realize that minnie is a bad team since long time, and his fans are content with PG's able to get 15 ppg with 50% (2pt) and 31% (3pts), and few skills more.

I heard that minnie wishes be a winner team in few years, a team at least with a 4 or 5 good players.

Do you think this kind of team need a PG who only get 15 ppg with 50% (2pt) and 31% (3pts), and few skills more? Do you think that Flynn will shot more or less in this kind of team?

And how many points are a good defense, good ball handle, don't lost the ball, steals, assists, good selections, etc ...?

I don't want to fight in The Flynn-Rubio War, but when you talking about Flynn you only say he can get 15 ppg and Ricky only 10.

WAY too early to talk about Flynn as an All-Star. He's a friggin' rookie! Let's hope he plays well enough to finish second to Griffin as ROY.

Won't be easy with Williams, Paul, Evans, Harris, and Westbrook in the West. I'll predict his name will be be a consideration for several years. Although I think my DJ Augustin comparison is pretty accurate

14.6 PPG (2nd behind Tyreke Evans)
.479 FG% (6th overall, however the best FG% of any guard)
.789 FT% (8th)
4.5 APG (4th)
2.6 TO (4th)
8.4 AP48 (5th)
1.71 AST/TO (7th)
13.1 EFF (6th)
26.9 MPG (7th)
20.5 Assists+Rebounds+Points (4th)
1.38 SPG (8th)

Ellington is also ranked with 4th with a .471 3P%

This isn't really a knock on him, but realistically he'll probably never make the squad. Paul/Williams will have the two Western Conference PG spots locked up for a long time. Even after all of Parker, Billups, Nash etc. have declined/retired, he has to be the clear 3rd best point guard in the West and be good enough to grab one of the two at-large roster spots on the All-Star squad.

Maybe he gets in if someone gets injured one year or at age 29+ once Paul and Williams have gotten old. But for the foreseeable future, his odds are very low.

umm you know, even though I'm not sure if the OP mentioned it but I'm sure we're talking about potential and not about what will happen this season. also Flynn's FG% (both 2 and 3 pointers) are great as in 2pters or average for his 3 pters. for a rookie it's okay to shoot 31% from beyond the arc as long as he doesn't take 4+ three pointers per game. and IIRC Chris Paul didn't shoot a great percentage from beyond the arc in his rookie season either - not saying Flynn will be Paul one day. just sayin'

Since we've been having so much fun bumping threads, here's a vaguely depressing one.

Why is it depressing? Flynn had a good rookie season. You all are expecting WAY too much out of a rookie.
