Rookie Jonny Flynn says Timberwolves better team with Ricky Rubio http://www.twincities.com/timberwolves/ci_12845181 Jonny Flynn, the sixth overall pick in the NBA draft and the Timberwolves' second selection (after fifth overall pick and fellow point guard Ricky Rubio), has been taking part in the Wolves' summer league games in Las Vegas. Here is Flynn ... On how the summer camp in Las Vegas has gone for him: "I'm definitely learning the NBA game, just learning the ins and out of the NBA game. It's so much different from the college game. The rules. The terminology." On goals he has set as a rookie: "I would definitely love to be one of the top rookies in the league. I would love to make the rookie/sophomore (all-star) game. One goal is to get more wins than last year. Anything I can do to help the team would be great." On whether he would like to see fifth overall pick Ricky Rubio playing beside him: "That's something I can't handle (because it's not up to him to decide Rubio's fate). If he were to come in and play beside me, we'd be a better team. He's going to make our team that much better. I'd love to have him by my side, making me better." On who would be the Wolves' point guard, him or Rubio: "You see the NBA going to two point guards at the same time. I think we would just be labeled as guards. I don't think we'd have a position." On whether he is wondering who will be hired to coach the Wolves: "I won't say it doesn't matter. It does matter. It's good he (president of basketball operations David Kahn is) taking a while to interview candidates. He's looking into the right person for the job. I think he'll make the right decision." On whether he would like to advise Kahn about whom to hire: "Not really. If he comes and asks me, I'd tell him. But he's been around the league a while, so he'll make the right choice." On where he plans to live in Minnesota: "I think I'll live downtown. As a rookie, you have to be way ahead of everything. I want to avoid any traffic. There are no excuses in the NBA. It'll definitely be somewhere downtown in the beginning. If I get a second contract, then I'll buy a house." --
