From Bob Sansevere/Pioneer Press: Timberwolves’ David Kahn: Jonny Flynn is going to be great
BS: How impressive has Flynn been?
DK: He’s going to be great. I’m telling you: He’s going to be great. There’s so much more to him. There are intangibles. He’s a leader. A very special kid.
BS: Is Flynn better than you thought when you drafted him?
DK: I think he’s what we expected. We were very high on him. I think he is meeting our expectations. And I’ve heard from other teams that they were very high on him. One team had him No. 3 on their entire draft board. I know that if (Tyreke) Evans had not been there at (the fourth overall pick) for the Sacramento Kings, they would have taken Flynn at four. They’ve told me that.
