So why Houston let Lowry go? Anyway, in the past three years, Houston didn't get into playoffs with this same roster. it doesn't make sense to keep the same people. But they should keep lee, Camby and ...?
I expect the following stats to be the minimum for Lin in the coming season: 29.0 MPG, 16.0 PPG, 0.46 FG%, 0.35 3P%, 3.5 RBG, 6.5 APG, 1.5 SPG, 2.5 TO.
A better version of this kid (because DX.com said so) http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jared-Cunningham-6484/ <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sw26nzKoY64" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Lol considering the old Jeremy Lin was a just-about-out-of-league player, it's like they're predicting this kid will never make the NBA.
Jared Cunningham was drafted 24th overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, and was involved in a draft day trade with included Tyler Zeller, and Jae Crowder Its becoming more and more quite obvious that Jeremy Lin wasnt drafted because of his race, which is sad
"Go back to China" might be the best and the most honest advice that a Chinese can get in USA. That's what I learned from Lin's story and his interviews.
Exactly: way less desirable. Francis was a chucker in those other years. Anyone can score a lot if he has no conscience about taking bad shots. Which is why I picked his far more efficient second year. Also, SF3 had only one year (2004-05) where his per 36 scoring numbers were better than Lin's, and then only by a tiny amount: 20.1 on a 0.423 shooting versus Lin's 19.6 on far more efficient shooting (0.446). And remember, Lin is likely to improve a lot next season, as do most 3rd-year players. Lin's assist rate: 41.0 percent. SF3's very best assist rate (achieved in 2004-05): 31.6. Face it, Lin is a much better scorer than Steve, a far better passer, and just a superior player.
Well, we don't know yet who will turn out to have the better career, though I like Lin's chances, as he doesn't have the type of baggage that derailed Francis' career prematurely. As you stated Francis' averages are misleading because he played so many minutes. He wasn't exactly a "willing passer" and most of his possessions ended with him shooting tough shots (and he wasn't hitting a good enough percentage of them), which is a big reason why the Rockets decided to ship him out for a better scorer to pair with Yao in McGrady. But while Jeremy's half season with the Knicks was great (not many have matched that type of overall production/efficiency as first-time starters, though Francis' rookie year was similar scoring-wise), he's got to do it for a number of seasons before you can say with that he's definitively better than a Francis or anybody in the past. There's no way of knowing that, yet. That said, I do like Lin's chances of being one of the better PG's in the game.
