It means Kyle is 35 and not getting younger.

Also means Flynn is capable and can play day 1 if needed.

No it doesn’t. If Fred stays he plays SG anyways. Once Lowry leaves Fred is the lead guard and Flynn would be the backup

Never heard of this dude but glad we went with a guard and I trust our scouts. Let's get it. Now work some magic in the second round boys

Could be a FVV replacement for sure at a fraction of the cost.

If the Toronto Raptors have a competitive edge over the rest of the NBA it's certainly in scouting and player development. Few teams in the league have been able to churn out talent as consistently as Toronto and a lot of that has to do with the way the organization assesses prospects.

When deciding between two equally talented players, the Raptors will go with the player that fits their system, said Patrick Engelbrecht, the director of global scouting and international affairs for the team. It's made easier by the fact that the Raptors have an identity these days and a system devised by one of the best coaches in the NBA, Nick Nurse.

That's why San Diego State's 6-foot-1, 185-pound guard Malachi Flynn is such an interesting prospect for the Raptors. The 22-year-old Flynn — who has reportedly worked out for Toronto — would fit seamlessly into the Raptors' system.

"I think Toronto would be a great fit for a guy like him," said SDSU assistant coach Chris Acker. "He's a blue-collar guy, so like I said, I think people are gonna really really fall in love with him."

After two years at Washington State, Flynn transferred to SDSU and played 32 games for the Aztecs last season. He was the lead guard in SDSU's three-guard system, averaging a team-leading 17.6 points on 44% shooting and 37.3% 3-point shooting with 5.1 assists.

This is why you try and get a second round pick. Some good players available still.

To me, it means we don't have to watch Pat McCaw or Norm as the third guard. Also, we're going to have a load of $$$ at the PG for a few seasons, and having a cheap third guard - four years of cheap - is better than going and getting a $4 million veteran backup who won't play much.
