Did we give up on Flynn too soon?

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.

It's a funny box score, all the starters are negative also. Like almost four with -20.

Just when I thought I was out he brings me back in.

Very happy for dude, hopefully that helps him get a 2nd contract somewhere. Still think he could be a star in Europe at the very least which isn't too bad a fallback plan.

I think he does well in Europe where undersized scoring guards are much more valuable. He has above average skill level in the NBA but not the size or athleticism to go with that. At his size, you need to be elite at something to thrive.

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.

I thought Flynn could eventually become an above-average bench PG for us, but that definitely didn't happen. Maybe he was never comfortable playing for Nurse, who knows. But one thing I do know, before we blew up our team, we were desperate for shooting and play-making off the bench. The theoretical version of Flynn would have been perfect, maybe even could have kept that team together after FVV left.

Now Nurse... I know why he had to go. Chemistry issue, poor player development, selfish plays... I get all that. But to me, he's the best playoff coach in the entire league.

It actually was though, he's like +14 on a 50 piece.

Read on Twitter

You think he's one of the best backup pgs in the league?

Most definitely. Still think he's an all star caliber PG if he was a starter getting consistent minutes

Previous 2 games:
14min, 9pts, 2reb, 0ast, 2TO, 43/40/50
14min, 3pts, 2reb, 3ast, 1TO, 33/0/50

His combined O/U on all counting stats....pts/reb/ast/stl/blk/to/pf AND INCLUDING MINUTES...STILL would've been well below 50. LOL

Most random 50 pointer in NBA history

Watch on YouTube

Nah, just jokes. Good for Flynn. Not many guys can say they dropped 50 in an nba game. And he’s only the 3rd to do it off the bench.

Well at least some team like the Suns will sign him this summer now.

OakleyDokely · Post #79 » by **OakleyDokely** » Thu Apr 4, 2024 12:27 pm

This tends to happen towards the end of the season with so many teams dressing incomplete lineups. There are a lot of unexpected scoring explosions.

Just doing a quick season from last season:

Cam Thomas: 46 points in April
PJ Washington: 43 points in March
Kenny Lofton Jr: 42 points in April
Horton-Tucker: 41 points in March

Dude had one game where he shot well on a garbage team at the end of the season.

His D sucks and he couldn't and not many teams would ever have allowed him to be a primary chucker to even have this opp.

Good for him for having a night when his career was on the rocks. Otherwise who cares?
