How good is Flynn?

[john2jer]

I don't expect perfect spelling or grammar, I know I'm not always perfect. BUT! If I get an email or text from a gal that I'm interested in, and she clearly can't write even remotely close to proper, it's like nails on a chalkboard. I dated a dumb but gorgeous girl once. It absolutely killed me. Random e's thrown in the middle or end of words that didn't belong there.

To her...

Made = an emotion similar to being upset or unhappy
Mad = past tense of "make"

sounds like those hysterical fake Yahoo! personals made in some distant non-English speaking land:

i want goode man happieness in life,,,treat him right,,,just ned lots of flowrs,,,soft tddy bare

Unfortunately the only thing fake about her was her personality. I think I caught a case of the dumb from her.

Did you ever know that Flynn was accused of sexual assault?

all good heteros get accused of sexual assault sooner or later, its all apart of the wheel of life

I almost want to sig that.

Oh I just thought of something to add to the Jason Terry comparison while watching the game. Flynn is much bulkier and he can go to the hole at will. We haven't seen much of his slashing, because Rambis has a tight leash on him.

[Klomp]

Exactly. Hes putting up the numbers he is, while Rambis still hasn't let him loose yet. I also wonder if thats part of why the 2 PG system hasn't happened yet. Rambis wants Flynn to run the offense. If Sessions was in at the same time, he'd probably be the one running things...

Flynn reminds me of a mini-Marbury in terms of game, but instead of being batcrap crazy with a sense of entitlement like Steph, he's trying to claim Madsen's place as best bench cheerleader in Timberwolves' lore. Mad Dog better watch out, because the Flynnotaur is a towel-wavin' beast.

I sorta like the mini marbury comparison, pretty similar rookie stats too per 36. Save Marbury's much higher assist rate. Same asst-to ratio though. Similar strengths and stylistic play imo.

If you give Flynn a young KG and Flip's offensive philosophy as opposed to Al and the Kurt's, I think you see Jonny make up a lot of ground in the assist %.

[IAmTheTruth]

I just don't know about Flynn yet. Most people will agree that he's best served as offense off the bench, but I can't help but feel he can be more than that. Only time will tell.

[Calinks]

20 year old rookie. No one can accurately know what his future will be at this point. Anybody who says otherwise is either a genius or talking out of their butt.

Flynn was a mid-round draft pick that was selected #6 ... he has not lived up to that yet. Will he? Don't know ... his poor defense really bothers me more than anything right now.

He's pretty close to deserving that spot, I mean we could have ended up with Thabeet, Hill, or DeRozan instead and of course I'm still sad we didn't take Casspi at #18. I will admit that at the time I wouldn't have been offended if he was stashed for one more year.

???????

He is averaging 14 ppg as a rookie PG.....what more do you want?

... what is this ... a Ricky Davis contest?

[shangrila]

I think considering he's adjusting to the NBA, a new system and new players he's been doing fairly well. His defence isn't great yeah, but that improves as his conditioning does.

he'll basically be always the smallest player on the court (save for a few exceptions) and no matter how much his conditioning improves, he's gonna get posted up by bigger players. this is my only concern about his D though.

[jade_hippo]

Flynns assists/game would be crazy higher if he had more guys who could hit shots. Marbury had West, Porter, Carr, Googs, KG, and Garrett (whom Marbury had a pretty good chemistry with with that drive and kick a baseline jumper;) that were all decent to very good shooters. Who does Flynn have? Love, and Ellington??

[Devilzsidewalk]

I hate how he doesn't ever just go, he always slows down and pulls out the streetball dribble moves when he should just pick a direction and fly. His speed is upper echelon, when he stops all the time it just gives guys time to regain their balance, guys like Parker and CP3 are always moving and changing direction and a quick stop and go, they dont often square up and stare into the defenders soul to measure up some amazing crossover from the heavens. Just go ffs. Thank you.

Flynn is hitting the rookie wall big time at the moment...
