The Dean Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Flynn was asked, "This is supposed to be a weak draft. What is your reaction?" Flynn responded: "It won't be weak for the team that drafts me (laughs)." http://today.sportingnews.com/sportingnews...801effa8e90fb1f Dunno if the link will work for everyone. Also, in the same column, when asked, "Who is the best player in this draft you've played against?", Tyreke Evans (Memphis Guard) said, "I would say it's Jonny Flynn..." He goes on to explain why. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Link worked for me! Thanks for posting it. It's nice to see Flynn soaring up the draft board--coming out early looks like it'll work out for him. I just read an article the other day where Donte Greene lamented coming out early, and wishes he had stayed; if he had, we could have two guys going in the top 10 (with possibly another one, Harris, in the first round). I've even heard Devo might get drafted in the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Devendorf is awful. I can't believe he actually thought coming out was a good move. He turns the ball over so much and plays no defense. He's not athletic enough to play in the NBA in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrygnome Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Went to high school with Flynn. Really down to earth dude along with his basketball skill, and actually took his classes serious. Which is more than I can say for other NFHS/Syracuse stars. I hope he succeeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I know the Knicks are looking for a pure point guard that can run D'Antonio's fast paced high scoring offense that's in the mold of 2 time MVP Steve Nash. Flynn, unfortunately doesn't fit that mold because of his inability to consistently shoot from long range, but I think he is the best pure point guard in the draft along with Ty Lawson. He can create off the dribble, and shoot the mid range j decently, but unfortunately, I think that the Knicks are going to target Stephen Curry. If Curry is gone by the time the Knicks pick, I hope they go with Flynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 FYI, Today's (6/25/09) Sporting News Today predicts Flynn will be picked at #10, by the Milwaukee Bucks. No other SU players predicted in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other SU players predicted in the first round. Saw that too (re-printed in the local paper this morning). I was surprised that they had a guy like Harden go in the top-5, and Flynn go at ten. I don't know much about Harden beyond his performance in the NCAA tourney, which was abysmal. One guy who is going to be a money player is Sam Young. He'll go late first round and immediately help a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Jonny Flynn was just drafted by the Minnesota T-Wolves. However, the T-Wolves also drafted another point guard right before him in Ricky Rubio, so one of them is going to get dealt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlegm Alley Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Picked before Stephen Curry? Impressive. IMHO, Stephen Curry belongs in the "Things that are overrated" thread. One trick pony AFAIC. Flynn is the real deal and I've been hearing the T-Wolves are going to keep Flynn and trade Rubio, the phenom out of Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
