I'm not going to read the article because this comparison has come up one billion times.  Sometimes the guys bringing it up are able to take into consideration all of the factors that impacted the draft stock and NBA careers of these two, sometimes they're not.

-Steph ended up the better NBA player than Flynn ever could have been.  That's a given.
-The Warriors were gambling when they picked Steph.  It wasn't a reckless pick, but there was no consensus that he'd be good in the NBA.
-Flynn's injury derailed a career that could have been pretty good.  Defense was an issue, but it's the NBA so nobody cares.  He could shoot okay, but really needed his athleticism to shine.  Once he lost a step on the court, he was toast.
-Regardless, I don't think articles like this are unfortunate for Cuse basketball.  If anything, they highlight how many guys we send to the NBA.

If this article tried to say Steph was the smarter pick in that draft than Flynn, the author is dense.  Arguments could have been made at that time for either player.  Hindsight is always 20/20.
