They were both very good.  They both had significant flaws, as do nearly all college players.

Unfortunately for this year's team, neither of them really solve the shooting problem - Flynn was only a 33% three-point shooter and MCW was worse.  That's not really what this team needs.   Either of them improve this team, but I don't think they make it anything more than a better bubble team.

More generally, I think either could be a key part of a great college team.  (Indeed, both were.)  You need to put shooters around MCW to be elite, but give him three guys who can spread the floor and I think he could be the best player on a NC team.  Flynn actually might be a little tougher to build a great team around.  He was really a scorer first and foremost, gave inconsistent effort, and probably was never going to be a great shooter anyway.  Offensively, that 08-09 team was pretty loaded - adding any of Rautins, Devendorf, or Arinze to this year's team would go a long way towards making them functional.
