He’s always been the most average looking player but I always felt he can somewhat play due to his ball IQ and able to stick open shots. Physically he’s not really nba calibre though, which makes him a career backup.

Lowry

Van Vleet

Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Not really surprising to me. I always said he was one of the best backup pgs in the league. Him not dropping 50 anytime soon would've be a surprise.

I would say ever given he's the worst player to score 50 by a long shot.

Desmond Bane career high is 49.

We definitely picked the right guy here

Reminds me of back in the day when Acie Earl scored 40 pts late in the season for the Raps which was the most random stat line ever. I believe that was franchise high in points and it took a while for that to be broken by VC lol. Me and my buddies used to joke around when DeMar was getting 30 pt games but had yet to pass Acie Earl on the Raps all time list until he finally did.

At least Tony Delk was actually a decent NBA player for many years…

Flynn has talent. He's just one of those players that needs to be developed on a really bad tanking team. Like look at how he did during the Tampa tank in his rookie season? Then after that, Raps were contending for playoffs, trying to make the play-in, and same situation this season before he was traded. Not saying he's gonna be a good NBA player, but it might mean he's probably better off going to Europe and becoming the next Mike James there and making good money doing that too.

Being able to hit the mid-range pullup with consistency like Chris Paul is the key for him.

I watched the game and his teammates bricked layups worse than us. He should've shot more in all honesty and probably could have gotten 60.

He's an interesting player in the right situation. With some consistency in the right situation, with the right coach he could pop. He's got game, but too inconsistent and often too passive when he can't afford to be.

I've always pulled for him. Seeing him and Delano show flashes of progress makes me happy we got rid of Nurse.

His plus/minus for this game was horrible. Analytics also show for every point he scores, he gives up 2. He also shoots less than 35% from corner 3's.
