When former San Diego State men’s basketball guard Malachi Flynn initially transferred to SDSU, he came south from his Pacific Northwest home in Tacoma, Washington.
Now after hearing his name called in the NBA Draft, he’s going to be heading north across the border.
Flynn was selected as the 29th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors. He joins fellow Aztecs Michael Cage and Kawhi Leonard as the only first-round NBA draft picks in school history.
Head coach Brian Dutcher said he felt fulfilled to see Flynn join a special group of Aztecs who have made the next step into the league.
