Jeremy Lin
Jeremy Lin has had an interesting preseason. He started with 10 assists in his first game, but unable to hit a field goal. The second game, he scored 14 points, focused on creating his own shot. He suffered an ankle sprain and missed a few games. When he came back, he was the same, assertive Jeremy Lin. The connection between him and Ed Davis was apparent. He has been attacking the paint with good success. He has implemented Steve Nash’s habit of probing the defense to get good shots. Once in awhile, he’ll force a bad shot, but he has been the key to the Lakers success this preseason.
