Based on the five teams that he has played in the NBA over the past six seasons counting the Golden State Warriors which got him first but never gave him the opportunity to play, Jeremy Lin actually plays better when he is on an Eastern Conference team.
That bodes well for the Brooklyn Nets in the upcoming 2016-17 NBA season.
The 27-year-old graduate has had the opportunity to play as a starting point guard with the Houston Rockets before but only in name and not in role.
The Nets are planning to give him the title and the role for it. Likewise, the Brooklyn Nets management appears to be confident in giving the role of a team leader to Jeremy Lin, which is something he has never been entrusted in the past.
Jeremy Lin, like the Nets management, is also saying that he is ready to take on the mantle. In a recent public appearance at Prospect Park, he said that he can’t wait to be given such role. It was an improvement from his previous statement saying that the leadership of the team would fall on him and Brook Lopez.
He was quoted as saying then that he and Brook are going to try to lead the way for the Nets, do things in the right way and get some wins in the process.
