Is Jeremy Lin for real?

Is Jeremy Lin for real? I think it’s a bit too early to be calling him the Knicks savior, or for the MVP chants from the fans but he is an upgrade over Shumpert and Douglas because he is an actual point guard. He has court vision and looks to make the passes that a point guard should make. He had 7 assists in the first game he was given big minutes, 36 minutes, and followed that with 8 assists in 45 minutes. While he did turn the ball over 8 times in the 2^nd game, that can be attributed to rust and lack of playing time with the other players. It may take some time for him to learn where his teammates like the ball, but it will happen and as it does the turnovers will go down. The big question is still over playing time. Douglas and Shumpert both had very short leashes when they were given the starting job, but they are also not true point guards. Lin should be given a bigger leash and should be given the playing time, especially considering Baron Davis has had his return put on hold with an elbow inflammation which is linked to his back injury. Lin probably won’t put up 25+ points a night on 50%+ shooting from the field, or average 2 steals a game, like he has in his last 2 games, but he will put up decent numbers. I wouldn’t be surprised if he puts up 13 points, 6-7 assists and a steal a game. As a fantasy owner, I’m not sure if I’m ready to jump on his bandwagon yet, but if you have a useless player on your team that you don’t mind losing, go with Lin. He has the most upside of most players on the waiver wire. Wouldn’t you rather have him and find out he’s not worth a spot than have your friend have him while you dream about how he would have won you the league? Pick him up, it’s worth a shot.
