The Toronto Raptors appear to be embracing the tank this season, as one of the changes they are making during the second half of the season is letting first-round pick Malachi Flynn get NBA minutes this season with the hope of finding out if he is worth building around.

Flynn, picked 29th overall out of San Diego State, was expected to immediately cement himself as the backup to Kyle Lowry and a potential candidate to take over that coveted starting role in the future.
