I watched Johnny Flynn play at Syracuse, and I’m really surprised that he didn’t make a bigger splash in te NBA. I thought he was going to be an Allen Iverson type and I think he still could be. He has a world of talent and the personality to go with it. I saw him literally jump over another player and dunk in college. That was enough for me. You are going to be really happy with him as long as he stays healthy.

Yeah I’ve watched the NBL, they’re tough but the tempo is faster and the players’ skillset better in the NBA. I’d go out on a limb and say that most European leagues are better, but that being said the NBL can be pretty entertaining, I’ll try and get a ticket when he comes up to play in Sydney.

Yes this is in true. Being from Australia i can tell you that Flynn will dominate this league but only if he is over his injuries. The NBL is a very physical league so if he is carrying any injuries he will be soon found out. The last thing i would like to add is that if he is coming over here to raise his NBA stock then i think he has made a big mistake. I get the feeling that our league isn’t respected as much as the European leagues. I will keep you guys posted on how he does anyway. Oh and the last Piston to play over here was Will Blalock.
This is a link confirming his signing:
