great Jonny Flynn piece at Grantland
Jonathan Abrams has done some great pieces for Grantland and I really liked this one about erstwhile Tigers import Jonny Flynn.
It features a quote from Chris Anstey:
"He would have benefited from the continuous playing time over the course of a season, and the ability to run a team for extended minutes," Anstey wrote in an e-mail. "International defensive rules were new to him, whether playing it or attacking it, and he got better as the season went on.
"His offensive skillset is NBA-caliber, but he needs to continue to work on his defensive game. As great as Syracuse is as a basketball program, it certainly doesn't create the best defensive man-to-man habits in its players for when they become pros."
