So over the past couple weeks I've been on vacation and not posting as much--but had time to read articles and rewatch videos.

I had to go back and watch a of Jeremy Lin highlights and games just to make sure I wasnt missing something after hearing all the hate he was getting on NY radio.
Instead of posting full games which will take forever to load and be harder to sift through Im posting highlights from the games. I challenge anyone to watch through these and saw "he looks like a flash in the pan","that was luck", "or he cant continue to do these things in the NBA.

Theres a lot of good stuff in these videos. More than the finishes themselves I think what really should excite Rockets fans about him is he makes a lot of good/"right" basketball plays. But even with the finishes. These aren't average NBA plays that guys are making every game. To me they dont look like lucky plays. If anything is lucky from Jeremy Lin's highlight package--id say its his jumpshooting-which I didnt know was that good. But throughut his time playing he showed the propensity to hit an open jumpshot.

The Miami Heat game is actually the anomaly. He was terrible that game. But Miami came up with a gameplan for him--that personnel wise--not many other people can do what Miami does defensively. If you have to gameplan for a guy and play him that aggressively its gonna open up some other things for him--especially once you have a chance to watch the tape and plan for it the second time around yourself.

assists vs Mavs :44 seconds and :53 Novak setups
On the 1st one look how he has Novak open, doesnt pass to him, and drives to draw the defender before the kick. On the econd play he cuts off the defender and circles back around to draw him before kicking to a wide open Novak.

vs Philly
I think one of the interesting takeaways from this game is that even when he wasnt putting up stats he was involved in the game and helping his team with just good/smart basketball plays.

At the end of the day I cant say hes worth 15 million now but I would certainly argue he's worth AT LEAST 5 in his first two years (even before all the marketing stiuff--just on skills), and has the potential to be a 15 million dollar pg by year 3.
