Jeremy Lin is one player away from making the 15 man roster. Initially I thought it was a given, but with JLin not playing much in the first 2 games, I have to admit I'm a bit nervous. Jeff Adrian played great last night and looks like the type big man the Warriors need. Aaron Miles has been decent and you would think that JLin would be able to beat him out. However, JLin has not had the opportunity to show if he can play at this level yet. Let's hope and pray that in the next 6 preseason games, he will be able to show everyone that he belongs.
I thought he signed with the team so how can he not be guaranteed a roster spot?
ReplyDeleteI believe the money is guaranteed but not the roster spot.
ReplyDeleteWe are so close to the goal, Jeremy Lin is almost on the roster. Nobody should whimp out now on the support!
ReplyDeleteI believe one of Jeremy's biggest weaknesses as a PG is he hasn't learned how to reverse pivot with the ball when he's handling the ball. He should watch some old tapes of Gary Payton and try to pick it up if he can. Anyways I hope I'm wrong but looks like Smart sees nothing in Jeremy. Even if it's not with the Warriors I hope Jeremy Lin gets a chance for some meaningful playing time somewhere in the NBA so he can show he belongs. Wherever he lands I'll be watching.
ReplyDeleteIt won't matter if he gets cut because he's shown enough that he'll get picked up by another team. 6-3 pg with a brain don't grow on trees.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that the last cut would be a forward instead of either Miles or Lin? They do have 9 forwards on the roster. -DSB
ReplyDeleteI'm holding out buying Warriors tickets. If Jeremy makes the team, I'll buy seats for a few home games. If he doesn't, I'll follow them in the news and watch them on TV whenever I'm free and they're on.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad for Jeremy that Don Nelson got fired. Jeremy's slashing mentality fit Don's system pretty well.
