It's crazy to think that both of these juggernauts were on the same team last year. What could have been.

Quite high actually. Posters are bringing up names like Corey Brewer. He actually had NBA level talent. I watched Flynn on the Raptors for years and he is a G-League level player. Is he even on a team right now? Remeber a player has to be WORSE then Flynn. So basically a career G-League player would have to play on a team that has an insane amout of injuries and drop a 50 peice to qualify. Say McClung for example.

Is Mo Williams a worse player? He had a 50 point game at one point.

Don't disrespect an All-Star and three time 6 MOY like that!

Let's be honest, he only became an all star because LeBron made him look a lot better than he actually was. There's a reason that first year in Cleveland was his best (although he did shoot extremely well from FT, that was all him).

While that may be true he was a way better player then Flynn.

Yeah that's fair, he's definitely the much better player.

Flynn is a good basketball player without the physical/athletic tools necessary to succeed in the NBA. He led an eilte offense in college, dominated summer league competition, and was very good in the G-League as well.

Brewer, by contrast, had the physical tools, but lacked the technical skills required for scoring. This is why his 50-point game is so anomalous.

This raises a good point about the OP question because Brewer was a better player yet a worse scorer than Flynn, making his 50pt game even more unlikely


Wait, does this mean that… Wemby is clearly the GOAT??

I watched Flynn for years on the Raptors. He was given so many chances and always played like ****. He is terrible.
