Jeremy Lin and the NBA draft!!
To all my Asian Ballers in the U.S. I'll love to see Jermey Lin make it to the pros, as I am too, an Asian Americian. He look's pretty impressive but I don't know if he'll make. Maybe he could be a back up, his offensive game kind of reminds me of Steve Blake, not outstanding but a team player.
I saw him play against UConn. He really blew me away. He hit tough shot after tough shot, had a SICK come-from-behing block on Jerome Dyson, and dunked in traffic after taking it the length of the court. His bank-shot 3 pointer over two people made my jaw drop. He looks like a legit 6'3, and I really think he deserves a shot in the 2nd round.
Jeremy Lin added yet another impressive game to his resume against big name schools yesterday, a few days after going off on UConn with 30 points. From watching him play, it is obvious that this kid is legit. Quotes from ESPN's Andy Katz and UConn coach Jim Calhoun support that stance. From what I've seen and read, it seems like Lin is deserving of a good shot in the NBA draft, and further, it seems like he definitely has NBA-level talent, as he consistently plays HUGE against big name schools and other projected NBA draft picks.
Any thoughts?
