Probably because he wasn't even on anyone's radar as being a possible pick at 5 or 6. We all like to forget about it now, but he was a 10-18 guy back when this thread was being made.

Flynn was a late bloomer, I remember him getting talked up as #4 to Sacramento and it seemed ridiculous at first, but he kept having great workouts and showing off his athleticism, and then a couple Chris Paul whispers, and all of a sudden that mid lotto range seemed more appropriate.

-Marcus Thornton could be an 18 ppg scorer, and nobody is talking about him.
-Wolves will take three point guards and ship the third, Ty Lawson, to Denver. Lawson will look damn good.
-Chase Budinger falls to the second round somehow, but he can score in the NBA as well as he scored in college.
-Blake Griffin... who?


Not really, but would have been cool.

Not number one overall pick good. At one point you did say he should be considered for the number one pick.

Did I say number 1? I believe I say top 5 (Our pick range) but I was exaggerating. What I really wanted was to move McCants for the pick to get him.

Where did I say that?

I would like to go back in time and draft Jarret Jack intead of McCants

That was one of the biggest letdowns ever... I was so sure we would take him :(
