March 13, 201214 yr I like to see point guards shoot above 80% from the FT line, above 35% 3pt% and average at least 7.5 assists a game as well. Along with 1.5 steals per game also. But that's just my criteria for NBA point guards. And Lin is getting close to that. Considering the guy has only played in what, 25 games, that is a good start for a PG. You have to give him that much. Just looked it up: [TABLE=class: playerStatTable careerAvg] [TR=class: title] [TD=class: year]Season[/TD] [TD=class: team]Team[/TD] [TD]G[/TD] [TD]GS[/TD] [TD]MPG[/TD] [TD]FG%[/TD] [TD]3p%[/TD] [TD]FT%[/TD] [TD]OFF[/TD] [TD]DEF[/TD] [TD]RPG[/TD] [TD]APG[/TD] [TD]SPG[/TD] [TD]BPG[/TD] [TD]TO[/TD] [TD]PF[/TD] [TD]PPG[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: odd] [TD=class: yr]11-12[/TD] [TD=class: yr]NYK[/TD] [TD]28[/TD] [TD]18[/TD] [TD]26.6[/TD] [TD]0.450[/TD] [TD]0.328[/TD] [TD]0.762[/TD] [TD]0.6[/TD] [TD]2.3[/TD] [TD]2.8[/TD] [TD]6.4[/TD] [TD]1.7[/TD] [TD]0.2[/TD] [TD]3.6[/TD] [TD]2.1[/TD] [TD]15.0[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
March 13, 201214 yr Author I do find it interesting that his FG% has went down dramatically since Melo has been back. Is it all averaging out or is Melo hurting him?

Not sure how that rule of thumb really applies in the NBA though????

We'll check again in April.
