Has anyone seen the kid Malachi Flynn ?

He’s not very big but this guy can PLAY! I think he is worth taking a chance on. Elite shooter from deep. Can finish. Could be PG of the future. Late first. Early second.

No, have you?

ktron I have seen him before. The Aggregate Mock drat has him at 33 so that's early 2nd round. I do not think he is a first because he is undersized, and not particularly quick. If Boston is looking to draft a PG I think they need to find one that can be groomed as a replacement for KW 3 years down the road. I like the blur Kira Lewis. I would take him at #14 or trade down as he is ranked #17.

Below are Flynn's stats

Yes. Just video but he looks really good. It’s hard to go by video but from what I saw and what I have been reading he reminds a lot of people of a Fred Van Fleet type. He shot is unreal I do know that.

I’m thinking that Danny is going for size first. If so, and Lewis is gone and This kid is available I think he should take a run at him. Love his name too!

What is so great about this 2nd rounder that we should get excited about him?  Don't we have Tremont Waters?  Doesn't he already know Brad's system?  Didn't he prove anything by being G-League ROY?  Don't you think that, even if Flynn makes the team, he's going to be spending his life in Maine too?

To be honest, quick look at these videos, I'm not sold on his handle and @ 6'1" your handle must be elite in the NBA.  Tremont's handle is much better.  The difference between Flynn's 6'1" (if that's even real and not in sneakers) and Waters' 5'9"+ is negligible.  They're both midgets and their 3-4" difference is meaningless  in a league where 6'3" point guards are considered short.

It’s always so tough to know whether they can do it at the next level. Both my sons went to Purdue, one graduated, the other one is there now. I saw all of Carson Edwards games during the tourney, he was lights out from 3 and I was so glad when we got him, then his rookie year he can’t hit enough open 3’s, maybe he will turn it around. FVF also took a few years to get to his level.
