    The poll needs a "Be a better shooter" option. That would be the answer.

    His defense is pretty good and his shooting improved. For me it should be handels and turnovers.

    could fall under 'score more points' cause that's what happens if you are a better shooter

    Eh, not too worried about either of those. The ball won't be in his hands as much, at times he'll even be relegated to being a spot-up shooter. He needs to get his 3PT% up to at least 37%.

    Well he could shoot more to accomplish that.

    Cutting down on turnovers, looking to create, shoot better mid-range and from the 3 pt line are areas of improvement.


    I hate when he looks to score on a fastbreak when he could easily pass the ball for a dime. A PG's first job is to set up his teammates. That's why Mchale made those comments last year.

    How do we know what his top priority is?

    Shouldn't you be asking Lin? :)

    Since shooting wasn't there, ball handling.

    Two important options missing:

    • Listen to coach and stand at the corner
    • All of the above

    How do you leave out shooting? Not the same thing as scoring. He needs to be a better spot up shooter.

    I dunno, a player like Demar Derozan is a good "scorer" but a subpar shooter. Seems like lin can "score" but his problem is becoming a consistent knockdown shooter.

    I put ball handling due to lack of options

    overall shooting and improving his three point shot would be my first response. He needs to get around the 40-42% from three and then were contenders.

    less turnovers would be my second
