However, what makes an effective PnR is that the ball handler has 5 options:
1. Can step back and hit the open 3.
2. Can drive to the basket for a layup.
3. Can side step for a mid range jumper
4. Can pass to the picker for a layup.
5. Can pass to the picker for a mid ranger J

Lin isn't effective with 1 or 3. Harden is good at all 5 options.

Notice, none of the options is kicking it out to another 3 point threat. You could chose option #4 and then the picker can kick it out but that no longer is PnR. That's good ol fashion post play with perimeter players (ala Dream days).

Morey was quoted twice in the last two months as saying Lin was the "5th best pick and roll player" in the NBA last year.
