Tom Brady assists Malachi Flynn, Raptors kickoff 905

The Toronto Raptors are confident in fourth-year backup Malachi Flynn after refusing to add another point guard behind Dennis Schroder. Due to Flynn’s inability to sustain any improvements, he has become a popular target among much of this fan base.

After some rough moments early in the season, Flynn showed signs of turning things around. His stellar performance against Kyrie Irving and the previously undefeated Dallas Mavericks at home could be the turning point. Darko Radjakovic has been supportive and even passed on Tom Brady’s advice.

Rajakovic shared an article with Flynn discussing Tom Brady’s early days as a backup quarterback at Michigan. After complaining about a lack of reps in practice, coach Lloyd Carr told him to make the most of the opportunities he was given.

“I shared that article with Malachi,” Rajakovic said. “Don’t think about, am I playing five minutes, seven minutes or 10 minutes…just defend, play the right way, be ready for your teammates, and then when you play at that pace, you don’t have to take the pressure. Got it.” Shoot. ” That attitude might be all Flynn needs to ultimately stick with his career.
