Flynn Named Rookie Of The Month

Minnesota Timberwolves’ 6th overall pick point guard Jonny Flynn has been named the NBA Summer League’s Rookie of The Month.  In his five games for the Timberwolves’ summer league team, he averaged 15 points and over seven assists per game.

Flynn has the same agent as Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James, and Flynn says he plans on working out with James this summer in Cleveland to help him get ready for the upcoming season.

Now that the Timberwolves traded point guard Sebastian Telfair, Flynn is expected to be the starting point guard this upcoming season — assuming Ricky Rubio doesn’t arrive.  If Rubio arrives, Timberwolves’ President David Kahn has told Flynn that he expects Flynn to play on the same court as Rubio, with Flynn playing off the ball.
