High school

Flores spent his traditional four-year high school career at John D. O'Bryant School of Mathematics & Science in Roxbury, Massachusetts.[4] In 2008–09, he spent one additional year at Marianapolis Preparatory School in Thompson, Connecticut.[4] Flores averaged 17 points per game during that postgraduate year while shooting greater than 40 percent from three-point range.[4] In the 2009 New England Class B Prep championship he scored 35 points.[4] The New England Recruiting Report tabbed him as the 18th-best prospect from the state of Connecticut.[4]

College

Flores suited up for the NJIT Highlanders from 2009–10 through 2012–13.[3] In all four seasons he averaged between 12.6 and 16.9 points per game.[3] From his freshman through his junior years, Flores was named to the All-Great West Conference Second Team, and in his freshman season he was also named to the All-GWC Newcomer Team as well as its Freshman of the Year.[4] Heading into his senior season, the Great West Conference media selected Flores as the preseason player of the year.[5] The media's prediction came true after Flores was named its player of the year by leading the Highlanders to their first ever conference regular season championship.[6]

Professional

Flores went unselected in the 2013 NBA draft. The Brooklyn Nets were the only NBA team to give him a pre-draft workout, and when no other teams showed interest he began his professional career overseas.[7] In August 2013 he signed with Uni-Riesen Leipzig, a team in Germany's Bundesliga Pro-B.[7] He played there for two seasons before returning to the United States to pursue a business career.[8]
