Lin's stats his Junior and Senior year would lead you to believe he'd have a good shot at the next level. He was shooting over 50% from the field with 1/3 of his shots coming from 3P. That's insane.
Watched Lin for a full game for the first time last night. That was crazy how patient he is and how good he is at getting into the lane and breaking down a defense. He's like a slightly longer version of Steve Nash.
