John Hollinger (Insider) studied Lin’s performance and concluded that his closest statistical comparators were Isiah Thomas, Kevin Johnson, and Russell Westbrook (現雷霆控衛).
( John Hollinger是籃球分析大拿,PER 就是該人的創作。他的分析絕對有說服力。可惜他的分析文章在insider,我們看不見)
Carl Bialik undertook a similar exercise and found similarities to John Stockton, Chris Paul (現灰熊控衛) and, erm, Steve Nash (太陽).
這些專家的文章發在籃球內部刊物上,我們一般人看不見。球探球隊都會買access,來了解球員,決定是否收購。這樣看來,Knicks 放走小林的可能性幾乎沒有,而且一定會有其他球隊追小林。為什麽那個Alan 還在起勁壓價,以前還說小林和諾娃分中產,現在更甚說要小林拿最低qualify 工資1.2M,把5M MLE給Nash。木頭也火上澆油不肯給小林首發,看來木頭知道要給更大牌留首發位置?
