Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Malachi Flynn was born May 10, 1998 in Tacoma, Washington and is the son of Eric and Kristi Flynn. He has six older siblings. Flynn's sister, Angelica, competed in track and field at Washington State. Older brothers Isaiah and Josias also played college basketball. For high school, Malachi attended Bellarmine Prep, in Tacoma, where he compiled 1,625 career points, which ranked second in school history. After his senior season, Flynn won the Associated Press Washington Player of the Year award. For college, Flynn decided to attend Washington State, where he played basketball for two seasons. After his sophomore year, Flynn was named to the Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team with a 3.27 cumulative grade point average. He then transferred to San Diego State, where he had to sit out the 2018-19 season. In 2019-20, he earned Academic All-Mountain West honors and was named a Consensus Second Team All-American. At the close of his redshirt junior season, he declared himself eligible for the 2020 NBA Draft. Flynn initially attended Washington State for two years, from 2016 to 2018, before transferring to San Diego State. As a freshman at WSU, he scored 27 points on Nov. 30, 2016 in a win over Utah Valley. That season he started 30 of 31 games for the Cougars and posted 9.7 points, 2.9 boards and 2.9 assists per game. In his sophomore season at WSU, Flynn again started 30 games and improved his stats to 15.8 points, 4.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds per contest. But the team finished at 12-19 and Flynn decided to transfer to San Diego State, forcing him to sit out the 2018-19 season. As a redshirt junior at SDS, Flynn started all 32 games for the Aztecs and delivered 17.6 points, 5.1 assists and 4.5 boards per game. Flynn then earned Mountain West Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year honors and declared himself eligible for the 2020 NBA Draft.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Now in his fourth season, Flynn still has yet to establish himself as a consistent rotational piece. In fact, his rookie season in 2020-21 remains his most productive, highlighting the lack of upside. He closed the 2022-23 season outside the top 400, averaging just 4.6 points and 1.3 assists in 13.0 minutes. Despite the loss of Fred VanVleet to Houston, the outlook for Flynn remains clouded at best. Dennis Schroder will likely step in as the starting point guard, while Scottie Barnes should also take on more of a facilitator role. Although Flynn will likely feature on most nights, his role is far too unpredictable to warrant any real fantasy attention.
In 47 appearances, Flynn averaged a modest 7.5 points, 2.9 assists and 2.5 rebounds across 19.7 minutes per game during his first season in the NBA. The 2020 No. 29 overall pick finished well outside the top-200 fantasy scorers last year, but he finds himself in one of the most promising situations heading into next year. As the Raptors faded from the playoff picture last season, Flynn was the lone bright spot. In 14 starts in the second half of the season, the rookie averaged 14.9 points, 5.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 33.8 minutes per game. Over the final five games of the season, he posted 19.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.8 minutes per game -- including back-to-back games with at least 25 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals. With Kyle Lowry now in Miami, the Raptors have some decisions to make regarding their backcourt. Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent are likely in for sizable role upgrades as they command the starting spots, so that leaves Flynn to compete with veteran Goran Dragic and No. 4 overall pick Scottie Barnes for backup minutes. While the 23-year-old certainly is a longshot, he may become the favorite out of that trio if he can recapture some of the magic from his fantastic finish to the 2020-21 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Dallas could make move
GAustin Spurs   G League (Spurs)
July 7, 2024
The Mavericks are looking to acquire another guard to bolster their backcourt depth in free agency, and Flynn is one of the options the team is looking at, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks have an established starting backcourt of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, and they also have Dante Exum as an option off the bench, so any other guard the team signs will come just to bolster the team's depth off the bench and improve the second unit. Flynn is not much of a playmaker, but he can add outside shooting to the Mavericks' second unit. The 26-year-old averaged 5.5 points, 1.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds across 12.7 minutes over 69 regular-season appearances while bouncing around between the Raptors, Knicks and Pistons.
