I'm going to go ahead and reply to this post from the pat beverley injury news thread here because I dont want to derail that one more than it already has been.That "assumption" works both ways. Logically, when I see Lin in the air looking around for a teammate after jumping due to pressure, I would assume what I'm seeing is true. But anyway, I'm sure I am right on this one. We'll just differ on that view.A few points that I want you to clarify though.1) What constitutes "many" of his passes? It seems you've done some research on this since you're so boldly claiming it to be true. I'll concede that I have not. But from watching the games he does not make "many" no look passes. Almost all of his passes are normal passes.2) The issue with his jump in the air with no where to go passes is that have no positive effect on play. They don't lead to a pass to where a teammate gets an easier shot. That is unlike LeBron/Westbrook (who I consider to be two of the best at using this tactic from watching many NBA games) who make those jump passes in a way to set up their teammates for either a) an easy lay-up/dunk after drawing two defenders or b) a corner 3 pt shot.You omitted so much of the information from the very article you referenced.Look at the video of Steve Nash on there. His jump pass comes off an aggressive drive into a fake layup that translates to an assist because he creates anopportunity. Look at this video of LeBron. Same sort of thing. We're not talking about Lin jumping in the air 15 ft from the basket. These are elite basketball gods jumping in the air on an aggressive play to a) draw in the entire enemy defense and b) create more time to help open up an easy basket for a teammate. Also the degree of athleticism and hang time required to make such a difficult pass is not something Lin possesses. That's not really a knock on Lin, either, LeBron is just a freak of nature.Anyway, I don't think Lin does the things seen in the above videos with his jumps in the air. From what I see they hardly ever lead to anything meaningful happening and the amount he turns it over doing that is too high. You can agree to disagree with me, but let's not misconstrue things just because you read an article.From that same article:-Lin is not Lebron James, Wade, Rondo, Westbrook, or Nash.-The article itself references that Rondo does well using a jump pass because he possess elite awareness due to being an elite player as well as the Celtics running a formulaic offense which helps him know where his guys are at all time. I think it's a well known fact by now that the Rockets run a dynamic and ever shifting free flowing offense. That makes a jump pass less effective by default-Sorry to tell you, but Lin does not possess the elite level of athleticism and awareness to consistently make this pass effectively. That's why most people here are upset about it.This was just lolz. Please do try and calm down. Let's look at my original post and perhaps re-read it.It's funny how my "OPINION" as you so dramatically put it is word for word what the article says about basketball prime being 27-32. That's a pretty well known fact even to the casual NBA fan.What I said is more "FACT" than anything. The whole "he's young and inexperienced" argument is overplayed. 25 is closer to the basketball prime than to the beginning of a career, even if you deem the average rookie age to be about 21.It's obvious you can still upgrade yourself and become more after 25, how much so is very debatable. I think you have diminishing returns at that point and most areas of improvement are marginal. That's why I mentioned I believe them to be incremental improvements. Sure there are your Steve Nash and Goran Dragic type exceptions, but for every player like that there are tons of middle tier PG's that simply fall off.Regardless though, that's not even the point of what I said or why I said it. My issue with that excuse is that most players his age do not get that excuse made for them. Let's think about Lin's draft. Patrick Patterson and Eric Bledsoe off the top of my head are around the same age as Lin and I don't see anyone saying they're "young guys." He's been in the league for 4 years now. Let's cut the crap.
