    why would he go to China? if he cant make it I think Europe might be a good 2nd option over China.

    He's a borderline NBA player... even if that fails... he can make a killing in Europe...

    The thing is that more than any other position on the floor a PG needs better players around them.

    Because you can make all the right passes and reads but if you have crap players catching or unaware out there, the stats will not reflect your skill level.

    But, if you put some players around a guy like Lin, who are also pretty good, he can look much better.

    It is a bit like Chase, a player who needs other good players to really shine.

    Lin seems like he has game, and will probably get a shot in the NBA, I would take him as our team's 3rd PG, he looks a heck of a lot better than Jermaine Taylor does.

    All the announcers love this kid, who was the color guy at the Wiz game sounded like Chris Webber. I know Mchale loved the kid.

    He may be playing over his head but he can be real fan favorite. Cuban should pick him up just for that.

    Yes, that was Webber, but I think people use the term "African Americans" nowadays.

    This kid can play. Glad JL proved himself ... he will continue to prove himself in the D-league or the NBA, whichever place he ends up in after the summer. I think he'll have a Kirk Hinrich type career and production.

    If anything, he's underrated. Based on his game, he definitely deserved a basketball scholarship and he definitely deserved to be drafted.

    Kind of reminds me of Budinger actually, amazing game but somehow falls through the gaps..

    I blame the Harvard on the fact he was undrafted, and also if he was lets say at UT this kid would be first round material I'll guarantee that!

    Watching him play in those highlights you can see how smart he is on the court, just a very quick minded player.

    Stole the ball from Captain Turnover himself JTaylor too...

    ;)
