Just happened to have the game on while working on a project. I saw that and was like, "Whoa." I don't know if this will continue, but there are skills there. He makes good passes out of the pick and roll and he's aggressive going to the basket. Absolutely kills me that the Knicks have found something... and now they've won 3 in a row.
Man, I have gotten zero reps for starting this topic. Can someone finally recognize my talents and give me a chance by repping me, much like our great idol Jeremy Lin?
Dude, you don't get rep for just starting a thread that's just basic information this isn't original stuff
As someone already noted. You are giving Flynn WAYYY too much credit and assuming he'd have been tearing it up as a Knick despite the contrary evidence we've seen so far in his NBA career.(Though one could put an asterisk by it seeing as most of it was in Minnesota). There are many top 5 picks that haven't panned out, so bringing up "the reason Flynn was a top 5 pick" is not a strong point. I'll tell you one GM that would have given up Flynn for Lin easily- Donnie Nelson of the Mavs. He knew Lin could do something (perhaps not at the level he's played at over the past 3 games but still a strong contributor on a team) hence the reason he took a chance on him after no one drafted Lin and then offered Lin a contract despite having 3 point guards already on his roster.
That's not really a cross over. Wall shifted to the right to go under the pick. The big man was supposed to come over, giving Wall time to recover. If he didn't recover in time the wing on the other side should have come over to help. If that didn't happen the other big should have come over to protect the rim. None of this happened, showing just how awful the wizards' defense is. Lin is balling though. He's not as quick as most of the better PG's in the league but he has good size and great handles.
Not sure if Dragic is a better passer than Lin though. Probably better on drives and definitely better on jump shots.
