As a famous basketball school in the United States, the Syracuse University Oranges are one of the traditional powerhouses of the NCAA, and most Chinese fans know and know Syracuse University, more because Syracuse University is the alma mater of Carmelo Anthony, the star of the NBA Nuggets.

The famous battle for the top pick in the '03 NBA Draft revolves around two talented players, LeBron James as a multi-decade talent in American high school basketball, and Carmelo Anthony, who is the leader who led Syracuse University to an NCAA championship, both of whom are considered by scouts to be the cornerstone of the team.

Don't look back on the past with the eyes of the future, after all, there are indeed few star players who led the team to win the NCAA championship in college and then entered the NBA to get a high pick.

As we all know, the 09th class is a big year for guards, in this class of guards, James Harden, Stephen Curry, DeMard Rozan, Ricky Rubio, Darren Collisson, and Zhu Holiday have all won big contracts in the future, and the first two are the MVPs of the NBA......

It's no coincidence that Jonny Flynn, who was among the top of the pack and qualified for the NBA, was among the best.

In this year's "never-ending" six-overtime game in the Great East, Jonny Flynn played a full 67 minutes and scored 34 points, and he was the hero of the team's victory.

The bouncer, fast player received great praise in scouting reports for the game, and was described as a competitive player with a big heart. And he is rated as a backcourt player with excellent jumper ability and excellent all-round athleticism in the jump shot that is still in development.

With such a scouting report, it is conceivable that Jonny Flynn is playing quite well in the NCAA.

However, Jonny Flynn had a cliff-like career in the NBA, averaging 13.5 points and 4.4 assists per game in the first year, but in the second year, due to injuries, that number dropped to 5.3 points and 3.4 assists. By his third year, Flynn was running out of balls.

The reason for this is that what really restricts Jonny Flynn's performance in the NBA is his height of 183 cm, and the NBA is not without precedents for not being tall and finally playing, such as Allen Iverson and Chris Paul.

But unlike Chris Paul and Allen Iverson, Flynn's jump shot in the scouting report didn't really show up until the day he left the league.

As a 183-centimeter-tall player, Flynn always loves to rush to the inside line of the long man to show off his bounce, and it is conceivable that tragedy awaits him.

Strong breakthrough ability is not the same as strong finishing ability, Iverson and Paul's careers are more about sudden shooting combined with passing, an inch long and an inch strong, this principle also applies in the NBA. Even if the great god turtle is very talented physically, the average finishing rate under the basket is only about 5%.

Of course, another reason for Flynn's tragedy in the NBA was that the team that chose him was the Timberwolves.

Throughout the history of the NBA in the past ten years, if you look at it from the perspective of hindsight, the Timberwolves are far more stupid than the other 29 teams.

Therefore, if a team that has been rotten for more than ten years fails to make the playoffs, then this team still has some reasons of its own.

For example, in 09, it was understandable that the Timberwolves did not choose Stephen Curry, after all, Curry refused their tryout, but they put a lot of excellent guards behind them, and after choosing Rubio, they chose Jonny Flynn one after another, you must think this team is crazy.

Jonny Flynn, who had a good chance in the first year, could have survived in the league if he had been trained and developed shooting ability, but the same dead wolf immediately gave up Jonny Flynn, who was injured in the second year, after Rubio decided to come to the NBA.

Perhaps many Curry fans have to thank the Minnesota Huskies (Timberwolves) for not choosing Curry, because unlike the "bad team" like Golden State back then, the Timberwolves are really rotten from beginning to end.

The impetuous management made them impatient to develop the quality rookies they had selected in those years, nor did they make them cherish the precious draft picks in their own hands.

To put it bluntly, in the NBA, there is no point in not exchanging potential for strength, after all, there are a lot of injuries in the NBA.

Although the success rate of the rookies in the class of 09 is very high, Erha doesn't care about this, after all, Erha is crazy, and even their own fans are afraid.

……

If Lin Yi and Blake Griffin are seen by American scouts and fans as rivals in the NCAA arena, then Jonny Flynn is Stephen Curry's biggest enemy in the NCAA arena.

The competition between the two lasted for a whole season, with Jonny Flynn, who averaged nearly 18 points and 7 assists per game, being a super point guard in the NCAA, while Stephen Curry, who played "29+10" in the weaker Southern Conference, was considered an epoch-making pitcher.

Stephen Curry is currently third in the ESPN Draft and Draft, but Jonny Flynn, who also led the team to the Sweet 16, also has a projected top-six pick.

In terms of team strength, the Syracuse University Orange People are far above the Arizona Suns Devils, and in addition to Jonny Flynn, they also have Paul Harris, one of the top three scorers in the Great East, Eric Devondorf, a good white interior lineman, and Rick Jackson, an interior barrier.

Although none of these people made it to the NBA except for Jonny Flynn, they are also stars on the NCAA stage.

Just like the Wildcats players themselves complained, they are a serious and strong team, with strong comprehensive strength.

As for the NBA?

Cherish the stars who can play in the NBA! Every star who can play has at least hundreds of players whose talent was once similar to him.

Otherwise, why are there so many NBA stories? Because the NBA, a league of supermen, is the graveyard of countless basketball geniuses.

Even if he is an ordinary role player, he was a star in his college days!

……

"Lin, I must find a way to overpower Jonny......" In the hotel where the Wildcats stayed, in the room of Stephen Curry and Lin Yi, Babyface suddenly spoke.

Lin Yi asked the reason curiously.

"New York also has a lot of love for Jonny!" Stephen Curry clenched his fists.

Lin Yi understood, team battles can be lost, Flynn must die, oh no, team battles must also be won!

After all, Babyface's obsession with New York is not a day or two, and anyone who prevents him from going to New York is a big bad guy in Babyface's eyes.

So Lin Yi found Wildcats coach McLop before the game and gave him some tips of his own.

In fact, it is not difficult for Stephen Curry to overpower Jonny Flynn, first of all, Stephen Curry can't go to the opposite Flynn.

Whether it is the NCAA or the NBA during this period, the tactical thinking is relatively conservative, you must know that in the future, Stephen Curry will not have the opportunity to blow up the opposing point guard, because it is basically the outside player with the strongest defensive ability on the opposite side to defend him.

And Curry won't blow up the opposing point guard, he will choose to blow up the opposing interior line.

A dozen of misalignments is much better than a dozen of counterpoints.

Second, if Stephen Curry wants good stats, he must run up and play conversions, and he must have all kinds of assists and scores.

The last is the blocking and dismantling with Lin Yi, don't forget that in the season when Curry broke the NBA single-season 3-point record, it was Bogut who blocked him......

Bogut's quality of blocking and pick-and-roll is not comparable to the likes of Pachulia, McGee, and Rooney.

Of course, Lin Yi will not refuse to help Stephen Curry, because Babyface has also helped him a lot and sacrificed himself a lot.

For the first friend he made after coming to the United States, Lin Yi cherished it very much.
