"Barcelona, Spain Trip & Euro League Game
Friday, December 12th, 2008
Hey wasup everybody - We just got back from Barcelona, Spain, where we had a huge Euro League game. It was a great trip overall. The food and city are amazing. We got to Spain around 7pm Wed night. As soon as we checked into the hotel we had a team meeting and team dinner. I then bounced to do a few media requests with Ricky Rubio. I was able to spend a few hours with Ricky, he was really cool, he speaks English very well. Just like me he has a ton of energy and loves playing the game of basketball. He showed up to the media blitz with his Mom and Dad, he has really nice parents. We talked for a few minutes. It was funny because I was signing my Jersey for someone and Ricky says to me

Re: I would take Jonny Flynn over both Rubio and Jennings
[QUOTE=Godfather]This dude can formulate sentences, but he gets a score on the SAT that makes him ineligible...[/QUOTE]
Brandon Jennings first score was ineligible. Jennings second score, which he passed) wasn't counted because people in the NCAA office decided the jump in score was "too dramatic". Jennings was forced to take a third test under NCAA supervisor. Jennings took the test. When his results got delayed Jennings said "screw it" and went overseas.

So he never got his last results?
Seems to be working out for him though, considering he is making money and still has a high draft stock...

Nope. The results from the last test got delayed. Considering there hasn't been a leak of the results from the NCAA offices I assume Jennings it.

[QUOTE=Mr_Basketball#1]Just watched the Florida/NC State game and I'm sorry but Calathes>>>>>Flynn
On top of him being taller at 6'6, he is a better playmaker and better shooter. Flynn is more athletic and quicker, but if we're talking better NBA point guard prospect, Calathes wins.[/QUOTE]
Calathes = Kirk Hinrich
And I hate his brother.

Please he doesn't have Hinrich's tenacity on defense or vision. Remember before his slump (terrible coaching imho) Hinrich was looking to be one of the best pure points in the league.

I didn't mean he was as good, I meant as far as offensive playing style.
[QUOTE]where is paul harris projected? last i saw was in the second round which i don't understand at all.[/QUOTE]
2nd round to undrafted. He's down there because he's a big forward in a 6'4" man's body.
By the way, Jonny Flynn had 15 pts, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds today. His steal/mins aren't in the boxscore yet so I'll edit them in when I find out.
I'll post the highlights too.

Flynn played the full 40 mins (the stamina of this kid!), had 0 steals but also had 0 turnovers. 0 turnovers for a pg in 40 mins is crazy!

i've watched this dude a few times. He is actually better than i thought. He seems like a winner unlike Jennings who even as my favorite prospect has Team Cancer written all over him.
I want to see how Flynn does in the NCAA tourny thats all that matters really, in the NBA draft ask scrubs like Noah that and Tyrus Thomas who were lottery picks that had no busy in the 1st round type of players
I like flynn strength, how he is a winner, but my knack on him is he seems to compact doesnt seem at least on the TV to have a huge wingspan like most NBA players do.
he alot like rodney stuckey

4. He compared him to Rodney Stuckey

He was burning anyone guarding him. Syracuse is the antithesis of how Notre Dame likes to play and why ND will not make it far in the tourney.

Jonny Flynn in transition is an automatic bucket for whoever's running with him.

Re: I would take Jonny Flynn over both Rubio and Jennings
He's very gifted. Would love to see Cuse match up against Texas or Duke this year.

Re: I would take Jonny Flynn over both Rubio and Jennings
I knew Flynn was going to be great, I covered him in high school.
Dude is mad fast can get to the basket with such a quickness that it leaves you stunned. The only down part of his game last year was passing which I think he has improved on greatly.
He should be a top 20 pick if he enters this year, a lottery pick if he enters after his junior year and top 10 if he stays all 4 years.

I definetly agree with you on the kirk = calthes but kirk was wayyyyy more athletic than nick...nick is a great colleg point guard but a 2nd string of the bench in the nba....johnny flynn and all these other point guards are good and jhonny is not coming out this yr i believ he is gonna stay one more year but as a scoring point guard none of these guys have anything on jeff teague now he is a scorer
this yr this is my rankings for pgs coming out
rubio def is not coming out this year
1. Brandon Jennings
2. Jeff teague
3. Stephan curry
4. Jeff Maynor
5. Pat Mills
6. Darren Collison
7. Ty Lawson
8. Aj price

Re: I would take Jonny Flynn over both Rubio and Jennings
He reminds me of Baron Davis just shorter and less built.
I think he would fare better in the NBA than Brandon Jennings and Rubio.
I've heard that Jennings is more like a Gilbert Arenas type.
Rubio, I havent heard much of.

I've been watching Jennings in Europe and I honestly was never once reminded of Arenas.
-
Re: I would take Jonny Flynn over both Rubio and Jennings
I know the stats, but how is Jennings looking in Europe? I heard at first he was kind of overmatched, but he was holding his own. I know he can be really flashy like Jason Williams, but is he actually doing that playground stuff or is he playing like a traditional point? In the NBA he is going to have a lot of highlight plays, but he needs to worry about leading the team more than breaking ankles and no-look passes, kind of like Rafer Alston learned to do after his playground days.

Re: I would take Jonny Flynn over both Rubio and Jennings
Johnny Flynn is amazing, I would risk a top 5 draft pick on him. The best small point gaurds, are Chris Paul, Steve Nash and Tony Parker. Flynn isn't as skilled as those guys, but he is more athletic and he has potential. What I like most about Flynn is his handle, no necessarily the smoothest but it's effective. He goes left as well as he goes right. Right now what seperates him from a guy like Tony Parker is polish, Parker has a ridiculously smooth handle and can finish at the rim like no other player....ever.
But he is closer to those guys then people think. He has a lot of creativity, and instincts that you can't teach. What he needs is polish. If he improves I could legitimately see him being an elite top 5 point gaurd for a long time.

Re: I would take Jonny Flynn over both Rubio and Jennings
What were the odds that the two of them would be drafted together to possibly decide the early answer to this?
