Big deal. These guys made it to Harvard as well. And that's Lin, second to the right. So that's where he learned basketball...
I don't see the Jeremy Lin comparison. The guy was a gym rat sleeping on a coach. Knicks assistant coaches said he was the 1st guy at practice. He spent hundreds of hours with a shot coach during the offseason. He worked with Payton in Vegas, during the lockout. Hasn't T-Will been punished with D-League stints and fines for being late to practice by 2-3 different coaches and teams? He reminds me of Eddie Griffin or Stromile Swift, a guy trying to get by on raw talent and physical gifts. No work ethic. Marcus Morris has a better chance of than T-Will of being the next Jeremy Lin. He seems to be a hard worker.
and he played and trained basketball like crazy in Harvard. A b from Harvard in economics is very good just by itself. beats an A from any less rigrious school. the fact that he was a full time athlete adds at least should add another .5 grade point.
3.1-3.2 is not good. It means you got mostly Bs. According to wiki the average gpa at harvard is 3.48 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_inflation). Anyways Who cares how smart someone is. Jeremy Lin no matter how smart he is not going to be as good as jordan and most likely not as good at business either. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Micheal dell never finished college.I think charles barkley said it best "No (I didn't go to college), but I have a couple people working for me who did"
smarts alone doesn't cut it in ivies because evdybody is smart. the question how many classes he took there were curved.
Exactly, if you really think that Jeremy Lin was this good last year and Golden State and us just didn't see the potential because all he needed was a chance, you watch too many movies. Jeremy Lin improved, and he found himself in the right situation at the right time. To be perfectly frank, he is still not that good. The Knicks are still first round cannon fodder even with him playing in the clouds. If TWill has a good season on another team next season it'll be because he worked on his game and his attitude over the summer not because the Rockets/Nets staff was holding him back.
The reason he went to harvard is because only two teams guaranteed him a spot on the team (Harvard and brown). If UH had offered him a d1 scholarship I bet would have gone there.
Maybe this will work to TWill's advantage. If teams think we overlook talent and let potential stars slip through our fingers, based on the Lin brouhaha, then someone will take him off our hands for sure.
NO one can make their teammates better on the bench, without consistent minutes who knows what twill can do.
