There hardly are any practices. If Douglas continues his poor PG play (As well as Bibby) then MDA is going to have no choice but to put Lin and have him learn while being thrown in the fire. Sometimes that's the best way, sometimes it's the worst.
I really hope you are right but I don't expect Lin to be tested by 
unless he sees more (a couple more weeks), by that time I hope Shump is back.
You can't rely on Shump to be the PG. The man is a scorer, and quite frankly, I like how he does it. Asking him to be a PG is going to be a HUGE mistake. Asking him to start in place of Fields is the way to go. If Lin is the guy that's advertised and he's really a PG, then at least a couple of problems will be fixed.
He is considered a combo guard actually.
Well we all know what happens when we rely on combo guards to be our PGs. Shumpert can dribble penetrate, shoot, create his own shot, pull up, defend, make some nice passes when needed and he has a bit of an ego. Those are the BEST aspects of his game that will help a team win. Why would we take that from him so we can do something that he's probably either OK at or not very good at, kinda like what we are doing with TD right now.
It would be like asking Hakeem Nicks to suddenly become the quarterback of the Giants. That's going to spell doom and we are all going to want to excommunicate the kid.
