he's not great yet 3 GS in....but I think he's got a chance to be bc he does so many things well on both offense and defense..
from two years ago...the only guy(Ed Weiland) who came out and said he might be a star in the league.

[h2]NBA Draft Preview 2010: Jeremy Lin, G Harvard[/h2]by Ed Weiland
Any team looking to find a starting PG in the 2010 NBA draft had best win the lottery and get the top pick. A year after the legendary PG draft of 2009, the pickings for playmakers are going to be thin. That doesn’t mean there won’t be a player or two who surprise the experts though.

The best candidate to pull off such a surprise might be Harvard’s Jeremy Lin. The reason is two numbers Lin posted, 2-point FG pct and RSB40. Lin was at .598 and 9.7. This is impressive on both counts. These numbers show NBA athleticism better than any other, because a high score in both shows dominance at the college level on both ends of the court. Here is a list of recent college PGs who topped .540 and 9.0:

Player	2 pt pct.	3 pt pct	P40	A40	A/TO	RSB40
Andre Miller	.600	.333	18.0	6.6	2.1	10.2
Penny Hardaway	.583	.332	24.4	6.8	1.9	13.0
Steve Francis	.580	.388	22.2	5.8	1.5	9.8
Gary Payton	.569	.333	27.3	8.6	2.2	9.1
Allen Iverson	.546	.366	30.5	5.7	1.2	9.3
Jason Kidd	.545	.362	19.0	10.3	2.1	11.8
Rajon Rondo	.540	.273	14.4	6.3	2.1	10.7
Greg Grant	.544	.485	26.3	6.3	1.7	9.4
Bobby Dixon	.548	.380	20.7	7.7	2.0	9.8
George Hill	.580	.450	24.0	4.8	1.5	10.0
Jeremy Lin	.598	.341	20.2	5.5	1.4	9.7

Bobby Dixon, you ask? He played at Troy from 2003-06. Dixon was listed at 5’10

You kats get mad as %+## when we mention Westbrook in the same sentence as Rose and now you want to throw Lin in there? Rose and Westbrook get to the cup without having to have a screen every single time.

And you wonder why the warrior fans on here laugh at your post

some of yall proving my point and you dont even realize it. I brought up Flip Murray because in his first 11 games he went off just like this. Some of you said by the end of the season he was averaging 12 points. Hello guess who came back in Ray Allen, in NY you have Amare and Melo. The NBA is just like any other place all about politics. Do I think Lin is good yes i do, do I wanna see him succeed yes I do, but I dont make forgone conclusion off 4 games. There are a lot of players in this league who go on a streak you love them, and as soon as they struggle you call him a bum
