    Wrong description underneath

    Strengths: Great leader. Confident. Plays with a swagger ... Has stepped up and hit big shots time and time again, even ones that were a high degree of difficulty ... Great pull up jumpshooter ... Strong ball handler ... Good size (6'4") for a point guard ... Efficient distributor who rarely turns the ball over ... Shows some ability to create off the dribble with little space ... Clever playmaker ... Good step back and hesitation moves ... High basketball IQ ...

    Poor LOFs

    Lin just lost his starting PG spot again. Lakers still flicking with Lin.

    The Nets wanted a starting point guard who can play for more than half a season.

    Great move.

    Lin will be a great mentor to Russell...Russell definitely needs one. I expect them to share the backcourt, both playing combo guard.

    I've seen nothing to suggest Lin can be a mentor to anyone. He seems like a nice guy though.

    This is what happens when you make a conscious decision to play for the Nets.

    With Brook gone, Lin is now the clear leader of the team. He will continue to start. The Nets' motion offense needs combo guards, so Russell will take Foye's starting spot and Lin and Russell will be a deadly backcourt. NY sports media already saying Nets now have the best backcourt in NY...

    This reminds me somewhat of when Lin was here and we brought in Harden after Lin was suppose to be the main ball handler for the Rockets.

    He's been compared to Harden coming out of College so it will be ironic if he steps up with the Nets and become an All Star while Lin gradually gets push to the back ground.

    I know all the LOFs will be killing Russell and Management for discrimination and unfair treatment on Lin.

    No...Lin is still the leader of this team, even more so now that Brook is gone. Russell is young, Lin will be his mentor and help develop him. They will play well together as the starting back court for the Nets.

    I'm still laughing at that one post talking about how pathetic and desperate Lin is for friends and attention because he bought his whole teammates beats headphones??? Are you serious whoever you are that posted that? Beats are probably one of the most garbage headphones in all of audiophiles list. That **** was probably made in China and cost like a bag of peanuts, LMAO. If someone gave me beat headphones that is a sign of a big *** you! Not to seek attention and friendship.. Who was that guy that posted that garbage. Show your face!
