Looking for his home team
Lin has been saying after the regular season ended last month and saw the Lakers logging in one of the most forgetful seasons in the checkered history of the franchise that he wants to finally find a home team, after being in four NBA teams in his five years in the NBA.
During the 2014-15 NBA season, Lin averaged 11.1 points and 4.6 assists per game, which is not bad at all. While he was groping for form for most of the early part of the past season as he was looking to fit with the Lakers and the dominating presence of Kobe Bryant, it was after the All-Star break that saw Lin playing more aggressive basketball and becoming a valuable option in the point for the team.
Although he was not a kind of go-to-guy that the Lakers needed when the chips were down, Jeremy Lin was a role player no less and can deliver the goods when called upon to do so. But with the absence of its prolific star player, the Lakers were playing like headless chickens during the most part of the NBA 2014-15 regular season.
Lin may not have found a fit in the Laker’s Princeton-based offense, but he could be pivotal in a team that thrives in a running offense that features more pick-and-roll and fastbreak plays.
He needs to go to a team that will let him be the number 1 option
