Some sources say it was just a modification done by fans and not by Takehiko Inoue himself. Still pretty cool nevertheless. + Show Spoiler + | ||

It's really hard to make an accurate assumption in any sport when you've not even started 1/4 worth of the games in the season. | ||

It's certainly nice to have an asian player make a mark, but I do hate it when people overhype things. I've always seen him as a bench contributor who could improve. he proved that he skill ceiling is actually higher than most people predicted. now most basketball fans are waiting for his turnovers to slow down before we start clumping him with elite pgs. I'd place him around the level of goran dragic or ty lawson currently, very good players, just need to improve slightly before being added into the top echelon of players. there is still 20 pgs I'd rather have over lin, but that's a lot lower than the 100 pgs I'd rather have over toney douglas, or from an asia perspective, the 40 pf's I'd take over yi. | ||

Lebron might be the strongest player in the whole NBA (except for Howard maybe). No PG is even gonna come close to that. Lin is pretty big for a point guard. 6'3 and 200+ pounds is pretty good. Most PGs are considerably smaller. | ||

Lin is big for his size, dude. He's definitely a starter in the league and he has the right demeanor, but his attributes aren't top notch. I think he's mostly overhyped because he's in NYC and people were desperate to see real basketball after their offense was gutted at the end of last season. Knicks fans were hyping up Baron Davis' human-shaped shell, for crying out loud. I think he'll be one of those semi-all star players who makes it 2 or 3 times in his career. A top 15 point guard right now. If he can become a good defender (which is entirely possible, especially given his acumen), he'll take the next step. | ||

You realize he's like 6'3 205 or something which is pretty big for a PG. Deron Williams is considered a big PG and he's not much bigger, and Jeremy's frame can only get so big, he's already gotten a lot bigger just looking at pictures of 2 years ago his senior year at Harvard, which was much bigger than his 2nd year at Harvard, etc. | ||

But somehow he looks very small for someone his size if that makes any sense at all. I see in Lin someone who is succeeding at his position in spite of his physical prowess, not because of it. I would love to see how Lin would have turned out if he had the same access to trainers and facilities as elite athletes like CP3 and DRose. Honestly, I dont think he ever had the same athletic ability that those 2 have anyway. Infact if you look back at his history people keep posting up here thats infact precisely the problem that they saw in him when he wasnt recruited. But thats not his game and thats fine. Hes looks a bit clumsy when he drives and that too is fine hes strong enough to take a hit and put the floaters up and it doesnt matter how pretty it looks as long as he gets it done, which so far he has. | ||

Thanks fellas. Sounds like he needs more time & games to prove his worth. Hopefully he'll get the chance. | ||
