Now it's possible because of his background he was overlooked by many, but lets not forget he's had his chances with 10 day contracts with NO (IIRC), and guys like him rarely consistently put up great numbers. What he's done so far is pretty remarkable, but count me among the guys who aren't buying his starting ability (yet).

i actually agree with you a bit...his main achilles heel is turnovers. not sure where valo got his stats from (i think he used season average), but Lin averaged
6 TO's per game in his starts. that is incredibly inefficent. to put it into perspective the league leader in TO's per game is westbrook and he averages just over 4 per game
also you can't say that the system isn't perfect for Lin right now. so it doesn't matter if it's Chandler and three other guys. one of those "other guys" is Novak who is an incredible shooter (heard he averaged 50% from 3PT for the past few games at a high volume). Chandler who is an amazing pick and roll guy. Walker who can hit the three.
