Malachi Flynn is a CERTIFIED BALLER

A little too early for this... Remember people were saying Siakam would be Giannis level without Kawhi but then Siakam went and looked wholly unimpressive against Nets 3rd and 4th stringers in the playoffs and looked like a role player against Boston.

Any player can look good for a few games here and there...

Underrated player. I should of said Deron Williams instrad

Deron Williams had generational talent but got lazy, low career aspirations and didn't keep his body in shape.

those are the extremists on the Raptors board.

Flynn is solid but don't expect anything more, maybe in his peak an all star for 1-2 years if the Raptors do really well and he's the catalyst (voted in or top player on top team as a reserve) - Raptors churn out solid players but all of them right now are all role players in a sense. even Siakam.

Team does well but missing a true superstar to take them all the way. hence why they are focused as a team on the defensive end to overcome their shortcoming as a team on the offensive end (half court, i.e. playoff basketball). They are but missing a huge offensive half court player.

These Raps threads have been really aggressive on the General Board the past 2 years.

I don't know what happened or who signed up to RealGM and started doing it but they should stop.

I give it a month before the "Flynn is Trash" threads start appearing on our board after a few bad showings.

Kid looks great, but it's been one preseason game.

Siakam is an All NBA talent with a ring!

Even with the playoffs, Siakam did nothing but impress post Kawhi. Nobody saw him leading the Raps the way he did (even with the ending)

Really? Who thought Siakam would become what he did? Dude struggled to finish the year, but he was a competent first option on a 60 win team. You really saw that coming?

He's legit good. But, this is just way too early.

Wait a few weeks for non Raptor fans to get a chance to see him. He's going to get lots of minutes, people will get up to speed eventually.

Is this Johnny Flynn's brother? Or his nephew or something? Anyway he's the best young pg I've seen in many years

He plays as advertised! He's elite in PnR, can shoot from the 3 and high IQ as defender. He looks like TEN YEAR VET on the court, it's fascninating to watch.

Masai Ujuri, Bobby Webster & Dan Tolzman drafted another gem!

He's going to make great back up for Lowry. As Lowry is getting older, he needs to have more time on bench. Flynn is going to fit in GREATLY!

Be excited Toronto Raptors fans!

You must think he is better than Kawhi Leonard already

Flynn was better at san Diego than kawhi ever was... Objectively

It's always been like this. We've always had the biggest fanbase on this site, followed by the Lakers. Every season there's a bunch of new ballboys making the rest of us look bad.

if 1 pre season gm means Flynn is a baller, does that mean fvv, siakam, and powell will be bad at the same time?

What do you mean? Most people here were calling him a glorified role player last summer.

Hmm, idk I don't recall it being this absurd and aggressive on the General board. Maybe in Raps related topics but like... an end of the first round guy after one preseason game?

On the Raps board sure, on the general board that's kind of just disrespectful to the rest of the teams. Obviously every team has one of those, that's basically a second rounder.

I don't know it's been intense lately. Raps fans always had the most fans when NY isn't good on this board but it really seems to have gone out of control the past couple of years in regard to constant threads on the General board being made.

How good will Malachi Flynn BECOME
