I'm so unbelievably pumped to have this guy. Not a player comparison, but he's going to be our Shawn Marion.

I'm thinking of a full OG, pascal, scottie front court. Down low bruisers are rare nowadays you can roll that out most night. OG played some of the best defense in the league on Jokoic, so he has it in him to defend elite centers. Just need some big body strictly for embiid,jv and aytons of the world
Ideal roster balancing move in that case would be flipping Lowry for a starting C to round up the five: Scottie-Fred-OG-Siakam-Turner/Markkenen/Collins(?)

Flynn/Trent/Yuta/Barnes/Boucher would probably be the best bench in the NBA.

If nothing else, it should certainly be an in-case-of-emergency-break-glass option if we're being beaten in the playoffs by a team that has gone small on us.

The down side is teams will just go under on his pick and rolls, but If he's been working on his shot, we should be encouraging him to shoot what he's been practicing. Looking at his college stats, he averaged 1.66 3PA a game, he's not going to get comfortable shooting them at that rate.
Him, OG, Freddie and Siakam will force a ton of turnovers, they'll be a nightmare on D.

Been watching more games and highlights, he does look really good and you can see the NBA potential. A guy like that at PG is super intriguing, that's really unique. Hope he gets some real run there and isn't just an occasional initiator like some pundits seem to assume he'll be."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

looking at the game logs he shot better from the FT line as the season went on.

If we lose Kyle, I'd let him run point as a starter tbh. He's already a great passer with solid court vision; start developing his PnR skills early in the nba which are already natural to him. He could be a great complement to Fred; he'd bring the lenght and playmaking,and Fred the shooting.

Johnson will be G league
Until he isn't, and he's 3 years younger than Flynn. He's also 6'5 with a six-foot-10-inch wingspan and he's friends with Scottie Barnes.
Tough to see Flynn holding down the bench unit for more than a year.
Flynn's looking like trade filler.

I think we did well picking Scottie. He looks ready to be an impact player defensively right out the gate. He can be a real terror for opposing offences, his footwork and the way he moves defensively is way ahead of most nba players. Has size, length, ball handling, court vision, great in transition, great attitude, competitive...its hard not to see the upside. Oodles of potential. Cant wait to see him play.
