Why did you guys like Flynn so much over Curry? David Kahn: Well, Curry didn’t visit (before the draft). That hurt because whenever you’re building consensus amongst all staff it’s hard when you don’t have a player visit for that reason alone and he wouldn’t visit. I’d only been there for two weeks. I couldn’t do anything about that. Flynn had leadership abilities at first blush. He was very dynamic, charismatic. You could see it his rookie season. The kid had a lot of confidence, plays bigger than he is. He just got hurt. He got hurt. He had a pre-condition nobody knew about his hip. During his recovery period, he knew something was wrong but he didn’t tell anybody it, there was a feeling of impingement in there (in his hip) and never described to trainers at Syracuse how deep it was. It really has hurt his career. I hope he recovers from it. He’s still a very young player. I remember Bill Laimbeer in a staff meeting before Jonny’s first season likening Jonny to Isiah Thomas. People like to sort of pile on after they have information that proves their point, but there wasn’t this kind of piling on the poor kid that year. There were a lot of people who liked him a lot. He had a lot of explosion that went away. Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Sources with knowledge of the deal say Flynn's contract with Melbourne has an out clause that allows for an immediate return to the NBA if someone calls. If Flynn had done what most players in his sneakers are doing these days -- taking the big money in China -- he'd have been prevented from coming back to the States until the end of the Chinese season in March.

Get on the court and actually play. "Sometimes you get into situations where you are not playing in practice and you are not playing in games and you can't get better if you are not playing basketball," Flynn said on Wednesday when the Tigers and head coach Chris Anstey introduced the 23-year old point guard. "I just wanted to come somewhere that would give me the best chance to play and I feel that being here will do that. It was kind of an easy choice when I decided where I wanted to go."

After being released by the Pistons recently, FLynn's management contacted Anstey to sound out opportunities at the Tigers. "He's in his prime and wanted to reinvigorate his career and we're really excited about what he's going to bring," Anstey said. Flynn is expected to train with his new teammates as soon as Tuesday and could potentially suit up for the Tigers against Adelaide at Hisense Arena on Friday night. Melbourne Herald-Sun

Flynn said his approach to trying to break through the Pistons' wall of guaranteed contracts is to "put my hard hat on and go to work." "I've seen crazier things happen and I'm just going to leave it at that," he said, then laughed heartily. Booth Newspapers
