Is Jeremy Lin a good player? I think he is an Alpha.

[tgan3]

Some say he sucks, some say he's good.

So what is the consensus? I tend to think he's a good player. He's proven it
tonight and also who can forget Linsanity?

Yes, he made some errors like blowing the wide open layup but I seriously think this kid is mentally strong, he is an Alpha. If you look at the previous game, Harden didn't trust him and it looks downhill for him, but instead he step up his game and prove that he is NBA starter worthy.

[roffie]

he's a decent player and definitely not a scrub..

most ppl are hating due to the spotlight he got from insanity and lead to him being overrated but now ill say hes definitely underrated.

it's hard to say since his coach is dog shit and gives beverly more minutes than he deserves, and he has harden who chucks more than kobe & iverson combined, jesus christ i hate james harden SO MUCH

If McHail plays Harden, he needs Beverly in to have some D on the perimeter.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Lin is the second best Rocket player right behind Dwight Howard.
but only if hes allowed to run the offense and handle the ball.
the thing is when he plays timid its because he is benched for eVERY mistake in an instant. how can somebody be aggresive if he knows he gets yanked for one mistake and all his teammates are allowed to fck up again and again without ever being benched?

Lin is a better defender than Beverley, its their team defense and rotations that suck

The problem with Lin is often times he either has a great game or a shitty one. He doesn't have a lot of in between games. He's not as good as his best games and he's not as bad as his worst. What he is is very inconsistent. He's a decent bench player. He's not worth $8mil in terms of play, only in terms of marketing. And stop with this alpha/beta shit it makes you look like a fool.

[KevinNYC]

He means if you only look at consider/his best games you're going to overrate him. Is he having a great playoffs? No he had a good to great game last night.


He's on the borderline of good if he was more consistent.

He cannot be alpha in a team full of black players and white coaches.

In terms of pecking orders, Asians are last. White/Jews then blacks then Hispanics then there's dogs/cats then there Asians.

[salwan]

he is a good solid player. a starting PG in this league.

but he's a bad fit next to harden, who likes to have the ball most of the time.

I would certainly like to see him handling PG duties at a nba franchise, that fits his style.

[DMV2]

His major problem is confidence. You can just tell when he's having fun out. You can tell when he's frustrated and playing scared.

Just look at his body language in Game 4 and Game 5. Polar opposites.

[CelticBaller]

The dude is the definition of beta

[rhowen4]

lin is solid but his confidence is key as everyone has already said

tough to cultivate that from the bench and while harden always has the ball

it'd be cool to see him on this year's bulls

you really think Lin is starting PG material? how many teams would honestly trade their starting PG for Jeremy Lin?
