New York Knicks fans know they depend on their stars Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudamire to be productive night in and night out. However ankle problems for Carmelo and family issues for Amare are keeping them off the court and allowing young stars like Jeremy Lin to come out and show what they have to add to the New York Knicks. Jeremy Lin graduated from Harvard University and was picked up by the Golden State Warriors. After being released Lin, was added to Knicks roster and since has suceeded. In his past 4 games he has scored more than 20 points and in the last game at the Garden against the Los Angeles Lakers, Lin lead his team with a career high 38 points and defeated the Lakers 92 to 85.
Watching Lin play is exciting he is small, fast, and versatile. He is great with both hands and is a great pick and roll player. His patience driving through the lane is what I see as one his best strengths. I feel Lin is a great pick up for the New York Knicks seeing how they lost Chauncy Billups to the Los Angeles Clippers and the fact that Baron Davis and Mike Bibby are not playing to their potential. I can see Lin becoming an all star point guard if he keeps his great work ethic and a determined attitude.
