The Nets starting point guard said that he knows the work he put in going into the 2016-17 NBA season so he is confident in his shot, adding that he is more confident in his shot today than he probably has ever been and that he is hoping that it carries through in the upcoming NBA regular season.
Lin also disclosed that he has changed his shooting form while playing for the Charlotte Hornets which is why he dipped, shooting percentage wise. He enthused that he was not as comfortable with it and he spent another summer to make some tweaks on his shooting. He believes that he now has the most fluid motion when he is shooting from deep or long distance.
