i believe lin has good potential

but his skill set is highly skewed. his best asset is court vision and feed the ball where best fitted on a fast moving team. he needs helpers both inside and out strong enough to catch and finish his passings, and a coach that allows him to direct traffic.
beyond that, he's an average player with unstable handling and shooting. linsanity had all the right elements to flourish, but it's probably a once in a life time scenario for lin. the nba cultural is star based and not really ideal for lin's current abilities.
