scouting video:

key notes (source: The Stepien)
-- one of the best pick and roll players in the class (scoring and passing)
-- can make a wide variety of passes out of the pick and roll (crosscourt, pocket, over the top, baseline, etc.)
-- really good, versatile shooter (spot up, off-movement, off-the-dribble)
-- really active and engaged defender. Head is constantly on a swivel between man and ball
-- smart team defender with good positioning and rotations. Makes smart gambles for steals
-- light feet when sliding on the perimeter; lack of strength can result in his man taking advantage of him and getting to the basket

key stats (vs. top 100)
-- posted best PORPAGATU versus top 100 teams out of all relevant prospects (11 gp)
-- posted an 130 ORtg
-- posted a 2.5 A/TO ratio along with a ~28 AST%
-- posted a STL% of 3.2
-- shot ~93% from line, ~39% from 3 (49% 3PR), as well as 65% @rim

I'm pretty sure this kid is running some kind of weird guerilla marketing campaign for Washington-based prospects. Be a porcupine on the boards, seek attention, and hype up prospects seems to be the formula. If a thread starts to lose its luster, BOOM, bump the thread by reposting same videos and re-stating same ideas.

This qualifies for spam, right?

I think he'd be a very good system fit for Boston. Fits the mold of PGs that have excelled with Stevens. I think he'd be a terrific pick for us with one of our 1sts.

Flynn’s analytics pop. He led the nation in both win shares and ranked eighth in box-plus-minus. He also shot 37% from three-point range and 85% from the line. According to Synergy, Flynn ranks within the 92nd percentile in points per possession in overall offense. He also ranks within the 96th percentile in PPP as a pick-and-roll ball-handler. This type of efficiency will definitely garner attention.

As previously mentioned, Flynn’s decision-making is a clear strength as he ranks within the 97th percentile in pick-and-roll possessions including passes. He makes advanced reads in the pick-and-roll and has a great feel for the game. Flynn’s ability to find the open man or teammate closest to the basket was on display all year with San Diego State. In the video below you also see a confident guard with a sweet step-back jumper.

Squinting hard, I could see a DJ Augustin outcome for Flynn, if he can get stronger.
