He doesn't have a floater like Top5/Conley nor can he absorb contact like Wade/Bron but he has the ability to slither b/w defender & finish AT THE RIM. All he has to do is implement the PnR to get into the paint & force the defense to either help or stay.......teams aren't going to help off Beard/Parson spotting up nor Dwight/T-Jones rolling since they have been paying for it dearly. Thus, late/half assed rotations have clearly made life easier for Lin & he has taken advantage by making the most of his opportunities. It seems like has strayed away from the long 2pt shots...it's either drive on the PnR or spot up at the 3pt line when Beard or Parson are running the show.
