jeremy lin is a true SG

[techno]

He has below average ball handling and athleticism as evidenced by his turnovers and general lack of speed and agility, and is more of a spot up shooter than a drive and disher!

[disel]

lol lin groupies will attack you soon.

Racism! lol

No seriously this thread is crazy stupid. just about every single thing you said is totally wrong lol :lol thats hard to do

[konex]

He has the court vision of a PG and an unreliable long-range game. I'd say he's a combo guard but not a true SG.

He is an above average NBA player though and is very effective for the Knicks

Exactly. he is an above average player. However lin groupies want us to think he is an allstar

He gets majority of his points around the rim after the penetration. He's a slasher.

[roffie]

combo guard.

[Kingwillball]

Lin is an Underrated Passer, He is more of Combo guard by Nature but has Good Court Awareness and Vision. He can Definatly play PG as there are very few Pure PGs in the NBA Currently.

[June1026]

yea he averaged more reb than assists in college, he's more of a combo guard, like tony parker in his early days.

lack of speed and agility? good thing you aren't a NBA scout.

[bluechox2]

hes still learning...but he has been pretty consistent so far with his game

I am a Lin Groupie and I think he is average overall. but at his peak or prime he may make the All Star team via coaches' votes.

[techno]

he cant jump, he has the speed of an average high school pg at best, he constantly dribbles awkwardly from poor coordination, the only good things he has are court vision, barely above average passing skills for a pg, and a nice touch on jumpers

[d21221hk]

Look at all these ISH all-stars critiquing Lin while they sit at home eating popcorn and playing my player on 2k. :lol

[VeeCee15]

I jumped higher than Jlin at my peak..cept I suck at ball.

[ballashotcalla]

you just caught.

[IGOTGAME]

I jumped higher than Jlin at my peak..cept I suck at ball.

but. Lin has elite quicks and body control. He is one of the better athletes at the pg position.

[blablabla]

op is a true fakkit

jeremy lin is a true SUPER GUARD!

he has good court vision in that he can spot the open man down court (and does a good job hitting him) but some of the best passing skills? he makes a lot of bad passes and i see his passes as being of the weak variety.. a lot of them are floated, he needs more zip on his passes

[IGOTGAME]

I don't think you have seen very much basketball then...

there at least 10 players with better court vision playing in the league NOW.

[MeLO MvP 15]

I just meant that he makes some passes that very few players see/make.

[IGOTGAME]

True. I just meant that he makes some passes that very few players see/make.

I think he tries riskier passes. I don't think he unique in seeing them. It is just that he value the ball as much as other pgs as evidenced by his assist to turnover ration. I have no doubt the Conley can attempt the same passes but he values the ball more.

Maybe, but a lot of it is being able to actually have enough confidence to attempt it. Sometimes you have to be risky. Not saying it's perfect because you can be over-ambitious and it'll backfire... but sometimes you gotta go for it.

[midatlantic09]

Lin is a combo guard.

[DMV2]

I don't know if others have noticed this but I think Lin has one of the better half-court/long-range passing skills in the game. Talk about great vision, it's hard enough to get it between two defenders but to get it from well beyond half-court is ridiculous.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34eLDVFnGL0 check out this assist to Melo on the 1:28 mark. There were two Pacer defenders right on Melo's tail.

And he's done these types of passes a lot. He's probably a better football passer than Tim Tebow. :lol

[IGOTGAME]

sometimes you do. But there is a point of diminished returns. A pg should at LEAST have a 2:1 turnover ratio...anything less and they simply are not valuing possession.

[ClutchOver9000]

So now Lin is slow, not agile, and can't jump???

Every game I've seen of the kid says otherwise...sure, he's not the best decision maker, not a great shooter, not the best ball-handler but now I'm suppose to believe he's slow, not agile, and can't jump???

:lol :roll: :lol

:yaohappy:

ok armchair scouts...

You mean like your boy Rubio?

[IGOTGAME]

You mean like your boy Rubio?

what does that have to with what I said. if you want to look up someone's assists to turnover ratio then the stat is readily available.

but if your lazy, Lin has the worst assist to turnover ration for a starting pg in the league.

[chauzer]

cool story bro

[FKAri]

Russel Westbrook, Brandon Knight, and Mario Chalmers all have worse ratios.

Kobe Bryant and James Harden are also well below him.

You're one of the worst posters on this board. This isn't the first time or even the only player I've seen you spew nonsense about.

[Amare4lyfe]

It's no secret that IGOTGAME is a Rubio homer and hates all other pgs (like Irving and Lin)that are getting the headlines over Rubio. He often praised Rubio this and that. Well, I can't blame him cuz he's a Twolves fan.

[JMT]

Tweener. Doesn't have big time SG size or shot, doesn't have starting PG skill set or instincts.

[Go Getter]

:biggums:

You must have missed the likes of John Stockton, Magic, Penny, Scott Skiles, Mugsey Bogues, Steve Nash, etc etc.

[LA_Showtime]

Lin's not a shooting guard. He's struggling because he's not the featured guy on the team. I've played with plenty of guys who excel as the man, but when thrust into situations where that's not possible struggle to play well. If he can learn how to mesh with Anthony and Amare he'll, at the very least, become a serviceable starting point guard.
