Now that its been confirmed everywhere that the Knicks will not match, I think it's time to start projecting what we think Lin's stats will be for next season. Barring a trade for Dwight (which I think at this point seems unlikely), my guess is that Lin will actually be our best scoring option. Honestly, it's a lot to dump on a 3rd year player, but I think he's got the mental toughness to handle it. Hopefully his knee holds up and it's not a chronic issue. My prediction for Lin 2012-2013 20ppg-7.5apg-1.5stls-4rpg-80%FT-45%FG%-33%3pt-4.5TO I think his assists numbers might go down even more because honestly, I really don't think we have too many good finishers on the current team (including spot up shooters who would benefit from Lin's penetrate and kick). He's shown a pretty well rounded game in terms of rebounds and steals so I expect him to continue that. He'll be doubled alot so I expect his turnovers to continue to be high and his FG% to hover in the mid 40's. For 5m a year, I'll take those stats everyday of the week from a 3rd year player.
hmmm...I'm guessing around 14ppg and around 6asts per game, but I hope i'm wrong cause I would love to see him avg more.
Give me a better scoring option. and dont say kevin martin because i expect him to be injured or traded
well it's tough to say really. i want to say 20 ppg, 8 apg, 4 rbg. but those numbers, are like dwill status. a more realistic statline for next year's Jeremy Lin is like 16.5 ppg-6.5 apg-1.5 stls-3 rpg-80% FT-43% FG%-33% 3pt-3.25 TO his assist:turnover ratio will be along the lines of 2:1.
you think his assist:turnover ratio will be 1:1? i don't think that's ever been done in history. i think the ratio will be more like 2:1.
