Message: [QUOTE="Waltdods, post: 2157905, member: 2932"] I think you (and many others) are significantly underrating Jonny Flynn. He was the best player on a 3-seed, Sweet 16 team. He averaged 17 points and 7 assists (!). He was an incredibly electric player. I think people have forgotten how good that '09 team, and Flynn in particular, was. That season was somewhat of a weird transition one, historically - the bridge from the disappointing mid-aughts teams into the excellent teams of 2010-13. But that team was very good on its own merit, and Flynn was the primary reason why. And I'll repeat my earlier contention that folks majorly overrate Wes Johnson. Just to tie these two points together - in his sophomore season, Flynn averaged more than a point a game more than Wes while also contributing 7 assists a game. (Yes, he wasn't as efficient a scorer, but Wes's role as spot up shooter and dunker is always going to be more efficient than a guy who actually has to dribble.) [/QUOTE]
