[former rockets pg battle]Rafer Alston vs Jeremy Lin

Let's ask Dwight!

 

Damn Tinman, you made me spit out my water laughing at this Spoiler pic!!!!! Repped!

 

I really don't see this as a close battle. Rafer all the way. He had confidence and fire. Lin may be more capable of putting up the numbers, but you have to baby him into the roll.

 

Raefer. Not even close.

 

Skip FTW

 

You have to go with Rafer.

Both players were average from deep, but Rafer brought along a high assist to turnover ratio that makes me favor him more. Lin's turnovers were constant and disastrous. Lin was better than Rafer at getting to the basket, though. Odd with Rafer's background but it wasn't until his last few years here that he discovered that floater.

 

Again, i'll put it here. Skip has better handles than Lin that's about it.

Lin penetrates better, shoots better and plays better defense.

 

Where's the "they're both garbage and tinman is a gigantic troll" option?

 

I don't remember rafer getting a welcome back video.


I remember Jeremy Lin getting one.

 

no contest Alston

 

Rafer was the better defender and floor general. More tough minded

 

I remember rafer missing plenty of shots n layups. I remember lin making unforgivable mistakes. I'd rather have rafer if I was forced to chose. The lesser of two evils, so to speak.

 

Can I have Lin without the Lin fans?

 

Did Rafer even play here as an opponent after his Rocket career?

But yea, Rafer was much better than Lin, Lin will never be a starting PG for a finals team.

 

Lin is better if he's hot.

Rafer is better though.
