Thunder II won the ownership of the former Raptors first round pick, but will he switch to the Turkish League?

According to Sports Illustrated Thunder reporter Rylan Stiles, the Thunder's NBA Development League team Oklahoma City Blue and the San Antonio Spurs' NBA Development League team Austin Spurs completed a deal. Oklahoma City Blue sent backfield player Adam Flagler's NBA Development League signing rights to the Austin Spurs, and the Austin Spurs sent backfield player Malachi Flynn's NBA Development League signing rights to the Oklahoma City Blue. In this deal, Oklahoma City Blue also received the first round pick of the Austin Spurs in the 2025 NBA Development League Draft and the second round pick of the Austin Spurs in the 2026 NBA Development League Draft.

Flynn was born in May 1998, is 27 years old, 185cm tall and weighs 84kg. She is the backcourt player selected by the Toronto Raptors in the 29th pick in the first round in the 2020 NBA Draft. In the NBA, in addition to picking him, Flynn also played for the Detroit Pistons, the New York Knicks and the Charlotte Hornets. In the NBA, Flynn has played 217 times in total, averaging 14.2 minutes per game, averaging 5.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 1.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 38.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 74.7%.

In the NBA regular season last season, Flynn played four times for the Charlotte Hornets, averaging 10.9 minutes per game, averaging 4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals, and a turnover and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 38.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 25%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 83.3%. In the NBA Development League last season, Flynn made a total of 36 appearances for the Austin Spurs, averaging 32.9 minutes per game, averaging 22.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 2.2 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 47.3%, three-point shooting percentage 38.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 84.9%. Flynn's performance in the NBA last season was very average. After completing the Hornets' short ten-day contract, he was unable to continue to stay in the team. However, in the NBA Development League last season, his performance was quite good. He was also shortlisted for the NBA Development League All-Squad last season, which is also the greatest recognition of his outstanding performance.

According to previous news, Flynn has completed the signing with Turkish League team Bahcesehir Koleji this summer, and he will also appear in the Turkish League in the new season. This deal does not mean that Flynn will appear in Oklahoma City's blue lineup immediately in the new season, they just obtained Flynn's NBA Development League rights. If Flynn chooses to leave the Turkish League and chooses to return to the NBA Development League for development, he will appear in the Oklahoma City blue squad. I wonder what kind of performance Flynn can perform in the Turkish League in the new season. Will he appear in Oklahoma City's blue lineup in the future?
