PORTLAND, Ore.—Malachi Flynn could pout a little bit, get down and discouraged, and it’d be understandable in some way.
He’s the same player today that he was a season ago, and yet games and games go by and the second-year Raptors guard basically sits and watches.
He’s still got the talent that made him an intriguing prospect as a rookie last season and who’d blame him if he got down on the organization a little bit, because all of a sudden it seems like he’s a forgotten piece.
Then he checks in with some wise old sages who went before him, retired veterans who know the ups and downs of an NBA career, and Flynn soldiers on because circumstances can change quickly.
