I agree too. Excellent court vision, knows where his guys are at all time, he's patient when he's probing the paint or waiting for the defense to give him something. His bounce passes in transition and one handed skip passes are a thing of beauty. Defense and shot are horrible, everyone knows this. If the OT's backcourt is in attack mode, he'll probably get pulled Other teams might take playmaking from the 1 for granted but as a Laker fan I haven't seen a PG with above average court vision run our offense for a while. During the triangle days, the 1 just dumped the ball at the wing and ran to the corner. Nash ran in the Princeton and then deferred to Kobe. Blake and Farmar don't have that type of playmaking ability - they usually just reset multiple times. It's refreshing to see Kendall Marshall's game.
Lin discusses Marshall matters ^Interesting quote from Jeremy considering the much shorter leash he gets from McHale here in Houston.
Well, Lin can definitely change his situation by angling for a trade. Of course he will instead prefer to stagnate in mediocrity and continue to be pushed around like a scrub who lacks ambition and assertiveness contrarily to Asik who told Morey to do one as soon as he was demoted to the bench after proving himself a worthy starter.
Lin was considered a bad shooter in NY. He just got to the line more and was a better slasher due to his speed/athleticism.
He could bulk up and becomes a back to the basket PG like Andre Miller did, because with that shot he won't be a threat on the perimeter.
Marshall was one hell of a playmaker at UNC, and he was a good shooter too. 46 assists in is last 4 games, dude can make things happen. He played poorly tonight, but I would like him if I were the Lakers, I like his upside. Especially in D'Antonis system. He's not nearly as poor a shooter as he looked tonight.

yea , he left out the part where the influence was negative and McHale was influence to run nothing of the sort! My PG make play!?!? NO NO NO.
Critics just had to grab onto something during that run. Check out the Linsanity highlights, many many jumpers in it.
all i saw from the video was lots of pnr with Gasol and Marshall controlling the floor. I miss pnrs i cant remember the last good pnr with Lin and the Rockets. The only thing i see in my sleep is Harden doing an iso and holding the ball and passing with 2secs to Lin or Beverly on the court.
