Who Could Be the Next Jeremy Lin out of the 2012 NBA Draft?

Every NBA general manager is going to be looking to find the "next" Jeremy Lin, but his story is so incredibly unique that it will be hard to do exactly that.

Although these guys are on the NBA draft radar, not all of them are sure-fire choices to be selected, but each has very intriguing elements to his game and could blossom if developed in the proper fashion.

Players don't have to come from a basketball powerhouse in order to be successful at the next level, but each player here will have to show more than he already has in order to continue building his stock.

Zack Rosen, Pennsylvania

Zack Rosen is not an athletic specimen by any stretch of the imagination, but he doesn't have to be in order to find success at the point.

He knows how to play the position well and is able to find where his teammates are when open, and Rosen is an excellent shooter from the foul line.

He needs to do a better job of limiting his turnovers, but he's really improved his outside shot since his freshman season, and four years in college has really allowed his game to develop.

Scott Machado, Iona

An extremely quick point guard who has benefited greatly from staying in school for four years, Scott Machado looks every bit like a future point guard in the NBA.

He's really improved his shooting during his senior season, and his impressive per-game averages highlight just how far he's come.

Despite being a little small for the position, Machado is someone who can use his speed as a competitive advantage because of his ability to penetrate into the lane.

C.J. McCollum, Lehigh

C.J. McCollum has an impressive frame at 6'3" and 190 lbs, but there are several questions about whether or not he can be a point guard in the pros.

A scoring machine during his tenure at Lehigh, McCollum is an excellent foul shooter and a very good rebounder for his size, but he's never averaged more than four assists per game in college.

He's got to cut down on his proclivity to fire from beyond the arc and do more to get his teammates involved on the offensive end, but his prowess at the defensive end isn't something that should be overlooked.

Kevin Pangos, Gonzaga

Kevin Pangos is only a freshman, so there is time for him to improve his game, but there is a good foundation for him to build off going forward.

He is a great shooter from beyond the arc, but Pangos tends to look for his own shot more often than a point guard should.

Although he's not an explosive athlete, he is not afraid to run up and down the court, and he has a distinct knowledge for the game.

Pangos will have to learn that it's not his job to be the sole source of offense, but he just turned 19 in January and is still learning.

Nate Wolters, South Dakota State

Arguably the most interesting prospect on this list, Nate Wolters has a similar build to Jeremy Lin at 6'4" and 190 lbs.

He has really improved since his first season at South Dakota State, and Wolters has been racking up the assists without turning the ball over at a high rate.

Wolters knows how to keep his dribble under control and understands how to get the ball to his teammates in the right spots, but he's not afraid to look for his own shot if the defense sags off him.

He'll need to improve defensively and prove that he can keep up with guys at the next level, but there is no doubting his multifaceted attack.
