Is this a trick poll?

He has a lot of skills but also many weaknesses that the top defensive teams are going to exploit if he's a full-time PG.

i'll be the first person to say he commits too many turnovers but he is essentially a rookie. can we allow the kid to grow into his position at age 23 or what?

little bit of a knee-jerk reaction no?

With all these turnovers against bad teams, this thought hasn't even crossed your mind?
I'm not criticizing Lin overall. You can make a great career as a combo guard. I think he'd benefit from having someone with PG skills on the court as the same time as him though.

I've been wondering this for the past few games. He might become anything from an excellent PG to more of a good but undersized SG.

DUDE IS A PG. PERIOD!!! The mistakes are gonna happen mostly cuz he's being overly aggressive. Most of the time it's driving into traffic. That doesn't mean he's not a good PG. He just has to learn to relax and take what the D gives him rather than force things.

Carton was talking this morning about good turnovers and bad turnovers. While all turnovers are bad he made a great point that an agressive turnover where a guy drives the lane and loses the ball is better than a lazy pass turnover that turns into a three pointer or fast break basket. I agree that Lin is turning the ball over too much but I think there is something to the aggressive turnover point.

Would you be against the idea of having a healthy Baron at PG and Lin at SG then?

Lin cannot guard SGs. It's PGs or nothing.
