My take on the Lin-sanity is that at this stage he would be better off coming off the bench. He plays with high energy but are little turnover prone. Sometimes he likes to force the issue that contributes to making bad passes. He has good mid range jump shots especially coming off the screen but he's not a good catch and shot shooter. The player he closely resembles is JJ Berea and he has better ball handling skill than Berea.
D'Antonie's helter-skelter offensive system is a big factor to his success so far and he should look up to Steve Nash/Stockton/Mark Price's play to mold his game further.
