He has improved a lot. Gets more assists and commits fewer turnovers but has still got a lot to learn.

nonetheless, terrible the past 2 games. TERRIBLE. He needs the eye of the tiger...It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight. Rising up to the challenge of our RIVAL. And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night. And he's watching us all in the eye of the tiger

I'm not impressed at this point - not that I won't warm up as the season matures. His size is somewhat an issue on both ends of the floor, his defense is sub-par, and his offense is very mediocre. Present all the stats you want, but I'm not impressed - could be just me.

To his credit, he does not have a legit SG that could easily add 2-3 assists per game, but he does have a potential all-star PF that other PG's do not ... as I say, the season is not mature.

Going into a game, he's not a player the opponent gets oogly over - other than deciding who will take him low. His leadership is not natural as I expected and his ability to create is much more lacking than everyone on the planet thought it would be....

I do like the personnally, but I'm really disappointed in his capabilites thus far.

There is enjoying the game, and then there is playing carelessly. And it seems that Flynn is walking that line the past couple. As i watched the 1st quarter of the Laker game, he threw up at least 2-3 floaters that were forced in traffic early in the shot clock and seemingly had a smile on his face as he went back down the other end.

But, he is a rookie, and his team is about 70% and even at full power its only about 50% of what an NBA team should be. So ill reserve judgment till later in the year.

We we're so close to Evans. Damn those Grizzlies! They accept 1 billion dollars under the table to trade Pau to the hated Lakers, but then they try to extort our 5 & 6 picks and a lifetime supply of Post-it notes when we talked pick swap. So what do they go and do with their pick? They draft Hashnute Bolleet. Damn them! Damn them to hell!!!

He looks alright, tries to do too much sometimes but we suck so he's trying to make a play. I think him and Sessions roles should be swapped to see how Flynn does as the 6th man.

He's definitely getting better and he wants to be here. No complaints from the Dr.

I like Jonny. He's a capable starting PG and the BPA in the draft at that point. He obviously can't handle big gaurds like Evans, so that does present a problem. I'm sure that by the time we are ready to compete we will have a player who compliments Jonny on both ends of the floor, so like I said, I'm not worried and I think he's a mighty fine player.

Flynn would dominate Hudson in a rap battle as well. He's a New Yorker.

If he's only twice the player, I'll consider him a bust.

All the hardcore rappers come from Niagra. It's the heart of the ghetto.

I was there when Flynn freestyled twice. If you averaged them out, I would give him about a D+. He can't beat out the Stress of both Worlds.

T-Hud is going to perform too.
