Jonny Flynn Weakness - Court Vision

My thoughts on JONNY FLYNN WEAKNESSES:

Jonny Flynn really doesn’t have great court vision. He turns the ball over a lot and struggles to get his team mates involved. He only averaged 4.4 assists his rookie season. Unless Flynn learns to see the court well, he will be nothing more than a guy who comes in for scoring off the bench as a back-up point guard. This is the most important aspect of his game that he must learn to improve. Otherwise, he’s a shooting guard trapped in a point guard’s body. Flynn is not a very good outside shooter. Until Flynn acquires a consistent outside shot, teams will continue to sag off him and not let him attack the basket.

Defensively, Jonny Flynn is a huge liability against bigger point guards. Although he’s plenty strong and quick, he simply is overpowered by the likes of Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz or Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls. Flynn is also too small to be a factor on the boards. Sadly a lot of those weaknesses on the defensive end are not ones that he can improve, meaning he will need to use his smarts and quickness in order to become a good defender in the NBA.

Player of the Week: Jonny Flynn

Jonny Flynn was one of the most coveted players in last years NBA draft. The reason being is that Flynn is an explosive athlete who can get to the basket whenever he wants. Although he is short, listed at 6’1, Flynn makes up for that on the offensive side of the ball with his 40 inch vertical which allows him to finish at the rim with ease against taller defenders. Jonny Flynn can push the ball up the floor and beat anyone in the league 1 on 1. Flynn is a tough, charismatic leader who is well liked.

What he lacks in height, Flynn uses his athleticism to rattle his opponents on the defensive end. He has pretty good anticipation skills for steals as he averaged 1 steal per game his rookie season. Jonny Flynn also plays extremely hard on the defensive end, and his work ethic is something that the Wolves fell in love with when they drafted him. If Flynn can learn to see the court well and make others around him better while improving his outside shot, Jonny Flynn has the ability to play in a couple of NBA All Star games.
