優點:
1. -->他有能力整合隊友到一個流暢的進攻體係中。這種能力可以提高,但更確切地說是種天分。或者有,或者沒有。沒有的人在努力也隻能是很一般的水平。
2. -->籃球IQ高。視野開闊。知道隊友最舒服的投籃位置和方式。
3. -->對pick and roll的理解非常好。在操作中能時刻保持運球狀態。
4. -->在組織後衛中,屬於上籃能力比較強的,尤其是方式較多。
5. -->心理超佳。關鍵時候表現更好。
6. -->中遠投不錯。動作有缺陷,但在壓力下能保持不變形。
7. -->身高,體重,速度,在組織後衛中位於中等,除了個別體質極強的組織後衛(Rose, Westbrook),一對一沒有明顯劣勢。
缺點:
1. -->護球。在側身護球時,球離身體過近。在大學可以。麵對身高臂長的NBA球員時易被偷。
2. -->傳球。有些傳球在大學可以,在NBA會被截,因為球員更高更快更長。這個需要有段時間適應,容易提高。 (Rubio is experiencing the same now.)
3. -->護球. 進攻上藍時,手臂護球不夠,並且有時球離身過遠,容易被強行斷下。 (多看Manu的上藍錄像學習。)
4. -->有時過於強行上籃,尤其時籃下人滿為患時。一是易被強行斷下。二是投出去的球命中率不高。(Be smart. Lin has the basketball IQ to improve this.)
5. -->防守。一對一防守不錯。換位防守和整體防守時易漏人,有時象無頭蒼蠅.(Knicks 不是非常注重防守。要是在Spurs,Mavericks,Bulls,Lin會被教練罵死,或直接換下場。)
6. -->罰籃。作為後衛需要提高。
前景:
如果繼續提高,能達到Tony Parker的總體能力是我個人能估計的最好前景。達到Kidd,Paul,Nash,Rose的總體能力是美好願望而已。
具體和現役組織後衛比較:
優點前三項:
- 現役組織後衛中,Chris Paul, Kidd, Nash, and Rubio are the best.
Paul is the best point guard considering all the factors.
Kidd and Nash are legendary. They are old now, though. They might retire in one or two years.
Rubio is an essentially a rookie, like Lin, and is still adjusting NBA games.
Jin is currently a little below Deron Williams and Rose. He is in the same category with Tony Parker, Rondo. I think he is a little better than John Wall. Westbrook is a great guard, but he is not very good in these three abilities. Westbrook is more of a combo guard.
上籃能力:
Rose and Westbrook are the best. They are freakishly athletic.
Tony Parker is fast and very crafty to attack the basket. His tear-drop is the best among all the guards.
Deron Williams is the most versatile in offense. He does everything in a high level, although unfortunately, he is not the best in any single category.
Paul can go anywhere if he wants, including the basket. He doesn’t incline to attack the basket much, though.
隨便說一下:
Jason Kidd is the best point guard after Magic Johnson and Stockton. He is also the best in rebounding and defense among point guards. He is always at the right position, both in offense and in defense. His shortcoming is his streaky shooting.
Nash is the best point guard in executing run-and-gun. If you are open in your most comfort position, Nash would get the ball to your hands. He keeps dribbling, pick and roll, and penetrating to tear holes in the defense. He is one of the best shooters in the history. Nash’s shortcoming is his defense.
Paul is as good as any point guard in the history in running offense. He is already the best point guard after Kidd. He is an excellent 2-point shooter as well. Paul’s 3-pointer is ok.
Deron Williams, as said above, is the most versatile in offense. He does everything in a high level, although unfortunately, he is not the best in any single category. Deron is very strong physically.
Rose is a unique point guard. He can run offense very well and get teammates involved. He would be in top 5 if we only talk about pure point guard skills. His attacking ability is so exceptional that it is a pity that he doesn’t show it to the audience. Bulls need his scoring badly. So in Bulls games, Rose keeps switching between the two roles. Rose and Paul have the most influence to their respective team.
- - -->Westbrook is capable of attacking and scoring as Rose. He is even better in rebounding. But his ability to run team offense is so-so. It is an agony to watch that he went hot-headed, had very bad shot selections, while ignoring Kevin Duant, his teammate and the best scorer in the league.
Rondo is a very good point guard. He runs offense well. His defense is exceptional. He can’t shoot, though. He shoots balls like bricks at NBA’s standard.
- - -->Tony Parker, as a pure point guard, is good, but not impressive. He excels in executing Pop’s system very well. He is very fast and knows how to get to the basket. His tear-drops is a beauty. I believe he is No.1 among point guards in term of scoring in the paint.
- - -->Jose Calderon. A pure point guard. His strength is that he doesn’t turn over. On the other hand, he is not much a scorer. He is not aggressive and doesn’t look very devoted. Otherwise, he could be much better than he is.
John Wall. He is in a very bad team, under bad coaches. It seems that hurts him a lot, since he looks lost, not as good as he looked when he was drafted.
Andrew Miller. A traditional point guard. He has exceptional point guard skills. He is the only point guard after Mark Jackson (the current Warriors coach) who likes and is able to attack with his back to the basket. His shooting is acceptable for a point guard. He has the abilities to one of the top point guards. It looks he is not very devoted. He doesn’t look like he cares.
Ty Lawson. He might be the fastest player in the league. He is short. Otherwise he would be a very good combo guard. He can run an offense. He is better at attacking than running a team, though.
Stephen Curry. If he were taller and stronger, he would have been a top 5 shooting guard in the league. An exceptional shooter. He transforms into a point guard very well, though. He is a very good point good. Unfortunately, he was drafted by a team with the worst offense system and he has to play with Monta Ellis. Hopefully, Mark Jackson will change the team. Curry, David Lee, and their starting center could play pick-and-roll very well.
Raymond Felton. Another North Carolina guard who is better at attacking by himself than running an offense. I like Ty Lawson better than Felton, since Ty Lawson is more controlled.
