Jonny Flynn appreciation thread...

I was introduced to Kellen Dunham who played for Butler in the mid 2010’s & his wife at the Final Four weekend (they’re joining the same sports ministry organization that I work for). We were talking Syracuse hoops (because you can’t meet me & not get that I really am about this Syracuse life😂), he mentioned Jonny Flynn as an all-time favorite for the Orange. It was the 2nd conversation I had about Jonny Flynn that same day! The ones who know, know. Jonny was a killer!
 
I have always wondered what the 2010 team would have been like with him. Would his ball dominance have screwed up the all time best chemistry or would his ability to penetrate at will have opened up even more deep shots for Rautins and Wes Johnson? Even with AO out, do we beat Butler with Flynn able to get his own shot, the one thing we lacked that didn't hurt us up until that point?
 
One of my all time favorites because of his height. The rutgers dunk still gives me goosebumps. Sadly nba wise he will always be known as the guy taken before curry.
 
Those Niagara Falls teams were prime time viewing. Having always gone to Glens Falls for the final 4 they were always the team my cousins and I looked forward to the most. For a few years Flynn wasn't even top 3 in the pecking order being an underclassmen. The '05 team is probably the best high school team I've still seen to this day. Their lineup played at Cuse x2, UConn, UMass, Niagara, Buffalo and Starks ended up in the NFL.
