just to make a point that he’s not in the same league as a no. 1 pick shows that this kid has done something to get your attention.

Sure, he isn’t as athletic as Wall. But he can get above the rim. Doesn’t that already put him ahead of Kirk, Pargo, etc?

Sure, he’s not a spot up shooter, but shooting is something that can be improved drastically. Repetition, repetition, repetition.

And how can you blame Harvard’s loss to Cornell solely on Lin? Have you even HEARD of the rest of the Harvard roster, against a Cornell team with legitimate 2nd-round prospects?

Here’s what I’ve seen from these videos: He’s a scrappy 6’3 guard that tries hard enough to defend offensive machines like John Wall. He might not have the lateral quickness or athletic ability (I have no idea), but he seems to be pretty good at anticipating the pass, and playing SMART defense (like sagging off John Wall when he’s still driving and getting a jump-ball, instead of committing and getting blown by). He isn’t afraid to drive to the rim, and has a knack for drawing fouls. He has some passing ability, which could perhaps grow with more legitimate players.

As a starter? No way…not yet. But as a 3rd-string point guard to back up Rose and Watson as a 6’3, 200 lb defender who has shown offensive IQ, as an undrafted prospect who will probably come dirt-cheap?

Give him a contract.

And in the meantime, keep your “Wall vs Lin” comparisons to yourself, since nobody has to defend Wall except you.
