The Toronto Raptors know they need to find some young backcourt help in order to help them prepare for the post Kyle Lowry era, and Masai Ujiri tagged San Diego State point guard Malachi Flynn as a potential savior after using the 29th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft on the Mountain West Player of the Year.
Flynn looked like an ideal successor to Lowry. Not only was the diminutive point guard and acclaimed offensive player and shooter in college, but he was also named the conference Defensive Player of the Year during his last season with the Aztecs.
