With Emerging Troy Daniels & Isaiah Canaan, Is There A Place For Jeremy Lin?

Lin scares the **** out if me in a play off series. Hopefully he rises to the occasion and the bright lights bring out the best in him.

But truthfully I'm worried as hell about jlin.

 

Couldn't disagree more. I think if Canaan or Daniels had been playing earlier in the season this would be a closed case with Lin eating bench.

Canaan is a much better defender and Daniels is a much better shooter. I think both have more ability than Lin but lack experience.

I think Lin has slowly regressed as a player since being here.

 

We'll come back to this argument in 3 years. Not enough stats, only heresay and eye tests to back up whose dick is bigger in this debate.

 

Really??? He's worse than Harden.

 

Was there a place for Jeremy Lin when we acquired Harden? Therein lies your answer.

 

Daniels seems like a much more capable defender, he can stay with his man with consistency. Definitely more active on a general basis, but not faster than Lin on a drive or cut. Lin is less active defensively, but I think people may overrate glue-guy defense if they just end up fouling the guy.

Canaan hasn't impressed me with his play making ability, but he plays very maturely for a rookie I will say that much.

People underrate Lin's BBIQ, when he drives he's probably looking to create shots for other players and I wouldn't doubt it has something to do with coaching based on the frequency that he drives in. He can make big plays and passes that I don't think Canaan or Daniels have the experience to make. The problem is these plays are not many and far between. Last season when we were the top offense in transition, Lin played a big part.

However, I still think we are paying Lin an awful lot. I want him to stay contrary to other people here. I think he has a place on this team, but I wouldn't complain much if he were shipped.

 

Lin plays defense like he's on roller skates. Yes, Canaan is worlds better.

 

with emerging threads heading into the playoffs, is there a place for a dumb one like this?

 

nah dude hes gonna be good in the playoffs. he hasnt met everybodys expectations of linsanity but hes still a good player and hes gonna be a vital player in our push

 

how the hell are people ready to declare Canaan/Daniels over Lin lmao

 

NO NO NO NO

 

And this is how Lin threads explode. Canaan isn't 'worlds' better than ANYONE at anything. He is back in the D league because he can't play with the big boys. He's too small to cover big guards and has no savvy on the smaller quick ones. If you substituted Beverly for the beginning of your statement I could defer, but come-on man.
And Daniels???? Please look at his last year of VCU game logs...If you think Lin is inconsistent...hold on to your seats.

 

BTW - I meant substituted Bev as the comparison to Lin

 

man, you fell hook, line and sinker for the bait. i've learned when you see extremely ridiculous posts or statements about any player just ignore it because the person is trying to get someone worked up and bait them into an argument.

no one that seriously watches basketball thinks canaan is worlds better than lin. you just made their day by taking the time to frame an argument to something that is crazy to start with.

 

the thing about lin is he already admitted in interviews his record sucks in the playoffs so he'll be motivated to make up for it. luckily he is coming off the bench so the initial tidal wave of intensity that comes from opening tip should be down a little by the time he gets in and at least he isn't injured now. so this year there is no excuses. hopefully he's worked out the mental blocks that have been holding him back.

 

I miss Aaron Brooks

 

It's early...should've had my coffee first LOL!

GO ROCKETS!!!!

 

Is Canaan "emerging?" Besides a few made threes (which have stopped) he hasn't been that impressive to me. Daniels on the other hand, though one dimensional may have a role as a three point specialist. Neither are on Lin's level, but Lin is not a starter. Beverly is also a bench player on most teams. Our PG position needs a serious upgrade.
