Jeremy Lin can add a new experience to his resume as he will serve in the Select Team during the summer. From July 6-12 he will play against the 2012 USA Men's Basketball National Team alongside 12 other young NBA stars including San Antonio's DeJuan Blair and Kawhi Leonard, Sacramento King's DeMarcus Cousins, Toronto Raptors' DeMar DeRozan and Indiana Pacers' Paul George.

Lin can help the U.S. team develop strategies on how to defend against shorter, faster ball handlers like Lin. With his ability to dish and shoot, Lin presented problems for defenses around the league. He was also great at finishing plays even as he was falling and hitting the floor after making his layups.

Even though Lin is not starting in the U.S. National Team, the Select Team has played a vital role in the success that the country has had in the Olympics. The first Select Team was created in 2007 and also featured young NBA stars like J.J Reddick, Andre Iguodala and David Lee.


Not only will this help the National Team, but Lin, who averaged just over 14 points and six assists, will get back on the floor after missing the end of the regular season and playoffs due to injuries. He will play against the best in the NBA and maybe the young star can develop his game further.
