You're not going to win a championship with Lin as your franchise player

[SpecialQue]

Fact. As much as I like the guy, he's just not elite.

[SugarHill]

He just needs to be in the right position and by right position I mean 2k with the sliders all the way up

Linsanity Lin was the GOAT scoring point guard.

Linsanity Lin was the GOAT scoring point guard.

He wouldn't even be a top 5 scoring PG right now

[SugarHill]

[BasedTom]

hey he doesn't look half bad so far

[Kidbasketball20]

I'm not even saying that

His defense needs to improve a lot to be starter on a contender

But he'd make a phenomenal 2nd PG off the bench on ANY contender

I don't like the guy as a coach but it's amazing the impact that Mike D'Antoni has had on creating an illusion for talented point guards being more than they actually are.

Jeremy Lin is an example of this. He's a solid player overall but under that offense, he looked tremendous and ever since then, he's shown flashes of it but has never been like he was in that one time period. Not in Houston and not in LA. The easy reason for this is because he was a product of that system and without it, his weaknesses are exposed.

It's not only him. Jordan Farmar looked tremendous last year and hasn't even been close to that this year. Kendall Marshall got a nice contract from the Hawks based off of last year and he's not even approaching what he did last year. The idea that this illusion has been created among the Lin stans that are left that this guy is just underutilized and has to play with Kobe and Harden so that's why he suffers is crazy. Those types of things usually happen with the more high profile, star players but Lin owes his entire career and every dollar he makes to D'Antoni bringing the best out of what he can do and hiding his weaknesses.

Yup. Any PnR guard will benefit from D'Antoni. Lots of guys get overlooked because their main skill is ball handling and PnR, but they aren't good enough to get the touches. D'Antoni makes the most of those guys.

D'Antoni's system has got more guys big contracts they don't deserve than any other coach in the league

[Mr. Jabbar]

i'd go as far as saying he can't/shouldn't start on a team that's going beyond round 1

LMAO such bullshit

If Lin had a coach like Carlisle, Pop or Thib he'd be producing CONSISTENT tremendous numbers.


Even Woodson was making it work w/ him and Melo.

McHale and Scott are just old school coaches who refuse to look at things other than one way.
