That is one of his bright spots. He shot 48.8% with two pointers and 36.3% with three pointers over 94 games.

Yeah, didn’t realize he shoots a ton of 3’s which is why his fg% is low.

For this year, I'll judge after seeing the guy play.

Too many unknowns in this draft with COVID and #29 being so far down the draft, did not read up at all on anyone projected to be drafted at #29. And Ujiri never trades up so who cares?

Similar to Pascal, I didn't know a lot about him when his name was called, but have already talked myself into the pick after checking his stats. This guy led the nation in win shares, 4th in WS/48. He's an advanced numbers monster, which worked well in the past w/ the likes of Pascal, Delon, Poeltl.

Almost 40% from the left beyond three. 71% at the rim. 33% at the right beyond the three. Looks like he knows his spots.

Completely sucks at the corner threes though.

for an analytics perspective this guy is a top 10 pick

from a natural talent/physically giften perspective, he is a bottom 10 pick

I don’t know much about them but based on a few highlights I’d give the edge to Pritchard!

I know many brought him up in the prospects thread but he never won me over

Just a boring pick in my opinion, very Lowry / Fred type player. Let's hope it works out.

Careful, you may have just made a staple comment that could age horribly in a couple years lol

I had Flynn ranked higher for his PnR playmaking.

Watched both offensive and defensive highlights of him and first thing on my mind is "plays exactly how a Raptors PG (Lowry/FVV) runs the team". Tough, pesky, great PnR to create shots for himself and others, makes big shots.

I disagree.

He screams natural talent and a guy who grew his game tremendously just this past year.

Seems like a great pick. Didn't watch him in college but got hyped just on those highlights. With his solid stats hard to ask for more from a 29th pick.

Not an nba player, arms too short, size to small, nothing special, mid level player in Europe, Italian Spain France 2nd 3rd division level of player

I'm not madd at him, but I'm not excited either.

Wtf is our love for undersized guards

And Flynn must be ecstatic once he sees the money his mentors are making.
