Jeremy Lin is an above average point guard. It’s tough to say that in the NBA because there is a wealth of starting talent at the point guard position. But, looking at his personal talents, he is an above average playmaker, above average finisher in the paint, and a solid jump shooter. He plays with energy. He plays defense. His energy thrives on team success.
It just so happens that this isn’t the perfect situation for Jeremy Lin just yet. Perhaps in a newfound role, he can find an ideal situation, hopefully as a Laker, and hopefully with upgraded complementary talent around him.
