Until the Pistons cut him, that is.

Flynn's the third PG on their roster. Fourth, if you consider Rodney Stuckey a PG. It'll be tough for him to stick around, I think.

Noooooo!!!!!!

If Flynn would've taken a roster spot for us, I would've been really annoyed. I'm 100% on the Christmas train now.

For me he was already scratched. But career 9 and 4? Impressive considering I never thought he touched the floor.

He had a mediocre rookie season followed by two really bad years.

But he's young! Flynn also has a lot of upside since his numbers stink both offensively and defensively.

He was the starter for the TWolves his entire rookie year and played quite well.

Half true.  He did start as a rookie, but he did not play very well.

Poor Walt Jr... err, I mean Flynn Rubio stealing his "glory."
My pic is now, and will be Fab Melo until he posts his first official NBA dbl-dbl. This may be permanent.

He played well enough to warrant 28 minutes per game and 13 pts and 4.5 assists. I guess he must have been doing something right.

You forgot the 2.9 turnovers he produced, too.
And his PER was 13.0 which is pretty bad for a starting pg.
And the Timberwolves won 15 games that season.
And the next season his game fell apart (PER=7.13). Although he had hip surgery before the season, that is just a terrible production.

He might have done something right, but it was not being a pg, because they played the triangle offense, and he didn't get it.
