The turnover rate comes from a combination of a lot of different things...
1. Lin being a rookie.
2. Usage rate: Through Lin's first seven starts only two players in the league have a higher usage rate, or percentage of time they touch the ball, and are more efficient than Lin: LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.
Lin's turnover rate falls right in line with other elite players at the point guard position, like Steve Nash. The point is simple. The basketball metrics don't bear out that there should be a large concern with Lin's turnovers. Of course, you always hope they go down and they will as he gets better.
Yeah, I'm hoping it only takes him about 30 games or so where he stops having any turnovers, ever, is shooting 95% from three and never misses any other FG attempts. Oh yeah, and he should be leading the league in steals per game.
His blocks per game, well, I guess that can wait until next year.
You fuckin people. You have no idea how to support a team.
Sweet dreams, douchebags.
