![]() briggs, i was searching for this the other day. one of my buddies played ball for harvard and said lin is an absolute stud. he's ripped apart BC the last 2 yrs, i think he is definitely NBA worthy, esp. for a 2nd rounder.
http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=4731117&name=ncbexperts my friend erik said lin is the toughest kid he's ever played with and an insane competitor. take it for what its worth, but i agree, i think lin has NBA potential and is definitely flying below the radar. #Knickstaps

Seeing is believing when it comes to Harvard star In preparing for my television call of Connecticut's home game against Harvard on Sunday, I asked Penn guard Zack Rosen about the Crimson. His response? "Jeremy Lin, he is their whole team. They have some good young guys inside and all, but Lin takes over games in the second half." After watching the senior drop 30 on the Huskies at Gampel Pavilion, I know what Rosen means. Man, was I impressed. Lin used the ball screen to slice into UConn's defense, and although he almost always comes back to his right hand, he does so by using and reusing the ball screen to create a lane to the hoop. Lin is as unique a player as his background is to the college game. He is different not merely because of his Asian-American heritage. More importantly, he is different because of his style, movement and athleticism. Lin has a funny bunny kick at the peak of his jumper, and the extra leg movement gives off a funky, disjointed look that deceives defenders into thinking he is not athletic. But he's plenty athletic. Lin explodes at the hoop and can finish above the rim, and he has built his body into a strong physical specimen that can withstand contact. Lin is not a pure shooter, but he has really solid fundamentals on his jumper and can elevate -- especially going right -- while maintaining great balance. Probably the most impressive part of the Harvard star's game is that his coach, Tommy Amaker, so desperately wants to get others involved that Lin is not really the focus of the team's offense for most of the first half. Yet he still puts up the numbers he does (18.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4.6 apg, 2.1 spg). If you want a new favorite college player to watch and cheer, put the soft-spoken, others-before-self Lin in your sights. You will not be disappointed.

![]() Just watched this clip on Jeremy Lin against UConn. very impressive. He keeps this up, he is going to be a late first rounder for sure. Maybe we can buy another 1st rounder from Memphis this time since they have 3 first rounders this coming draft.

![]() he can't go in first round because he is a revolutionary. the nba doesn't want to take chances on anything, so he go second round. back before euros proved themselves awesome, no one picked euros in the first round.

![]() hokay Briggs I am on the bandwagon. Can we get Tommy Dee to put this guy on DW's radar? Maybe an interview where he throws in a question 'Have you looked at this Lin kid out of Harvard?"
Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please

![]() this league is changing. He's going to be a mid-late first rounder by draft time. This is quickly becoming a skill perimeter league.

![]() It isn't changing fast enough. Revolutionary figures don't catch right away. He is the first of his kind, a martyr for the cause. The next Harvard shooting guard with Lin's awesome skillets will go first round.

The next Harvard shooting guard with Lin's awesome skillets will go first round. its already changed. Stephen Curry went in the lottery. Hansbrough, Earl Clark bigger more NBA 'types' go much later. GMs and coaches loves little skilled players who can shoot. Not saying he goes in the lottery but you look at the NBA now and I bet 25 GMs would see Lin as a rotation player at the worst "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

The next Harvard shooting guard with Lin's awesome skillets will go first round. guys like Budinger who were easily deserving of going in the mid 1st round went in the 2nd, so i don't think it's changed all that much... there will always be skilled sleeper picks go in the 2nd round, guys like Nick Van Exel, Gilbert Arenas, Rashard Lewis, etc. that slip through to the 2nd for 1 reason or the other. playing at Harvard might hurt this Lin's stock but he's obviously got some nice skills that could translate over to play in the NBA from what u can see from these clips... gotta love his team first unselfish approach & the way he carries himself on the court... would love to catch some games of him televised as soon as i can, anyone know the next time a Harvard game will be aired?

![]() Great scouting by Briggs. A lot of great posters have moved on Kam, OBM, TMS, Finest. Hopefully some of these guys come back. This is a great forum but those brought a lot to it.
