My guess: 19 pts, 5 assists, 4 rebs, 1.5 steals, 3.7 TO, 70 Games Played, 42% field goal percentage, 37% 3 point percentage
Similar, but better because Lin goes to the FT line more often than people realize and importantly, he will be getting beneficial calls unlike Dragic and Lowry. One of the underrated game of Lin is his will to drive to the basket.
Pessimistic: 15.0 PPG 3.0 RPG 6.0 APG 1.0 SPG 0.3 BPG 4.0 TPG FGP - low 40's Optimistic 17.5 PPG 4.0 RPG 8.0 APG 2.0 SPG 0.5 BPG 3.0 TPG FGP - Mid 40's Fantasy..but a tiny part of me believes it MIGHT be possible...even if it's more likely I get hit by lightning: 20 PPG 5.0 RPG 9.0 APG 2.1 SPG 0.5 BPG 2.8 TPG FGP - High 40's I would love to eat crow by the end of the season.
His stats will probably be 14.5 ppg, 5.2 apg, & 3 rpg... He will come back down to earth next season with Houston.
18 & 8....after the ASB once teams were fully scouting him and with Melo and Amare in the line up he averaged: 14.9 pts, 3.4 reb, 6.8 ast, 1.6 stl, 3.6 TO. And that was in 14 games as the third offensive option. He can improve to an 18 & 8 guy most definitely.
You know what I like most about him? He is a closer. He wants to have the ball when the game in on the line and can either knock down a shot, draw a foul or get the ball to the open man. We didn't have a closer since T-Mac and you could even argue he wasn't one
I admit to having Linsanity last season and am glad he is on the Rox but I have some doubts since he is coming back from season ending knee surgery and no longer has the element of surprise.
The hate and bile towards Lin from NYC only makes my want to root harder for the kid. Those fans are disgusting and petty. Lin is smart and I know he will bust his ass to prove them wrong.
I think maury has done a great job in finding similar players that can play in a team environment. I really don't see that much of a drop off from ham and gogi. Ham just got the job done with reckless force and goran with finesse and style. I'm going to miss all the brazzle and dazzle from dragic but we haven't down graded at the pg like some mauryhaters tend to think.
Hopefully 0 and 0 and 0... Because we finally trade him, another bruise keeps him from playing, or brooks and beverly beat him for playing time. Glad Les is making his money off Lin but I'd rather have a championship roster.
