Jremy Lin Is Better Than Ivy League Standards.

When Harvard University defeated Boston College last year one game after Boston College gave North Carolina the Buisness, we all thaught it was just one of those games. That is until we saw the highlights. The highlights of a 6'3 Asian guard getting buckets, dropping dimes, and stealing the ball like a thief from the IVY Leagues. The Asian kid was just dominating. Then when they showed the final stat line and the Asians numbers where: 27 points, 8 assist, 6 steals, and even 2 blocks you were thinking WOW!!! (Thats if your like me)

          Well that Asian kid is Jeremy Lin. Lin was a High School legend at Palo Alto high in California, leading his team to the championship. I personally believe that he could have went to PAC 10 college and started at PG. But he chose to go to education powerhouse, Harvard University (every Asian parent dream) After a solid 07-08 season, Lin entered the 08-09 season with high expectations. He didn't let his BELIEVERS down. He finished the season with averages of 17.8 points, 4.3 assist, 5.5 boards, and 2.4 steals per game while shooting 40% from the three point line. He was also the only player in the country to finish in the top 10 of his conference in every statistcal category. Espn also named Jeremy Lin as one of the most versatile players in the country. He was also listed as one of the 5 players in the country who needs more television exposure. I COULD'T AGREE MORE.

         But there will always be haters. Haters who will say he only did all those amazing things because he plays in the IVY league. Thats where this upcoming season comes in. The schedule makers set an unique challenge for Harvard. They have a 3-game stretch where they play UConn, Boston College, and Georgetown on the road. They will also play Penn State twice this year putting Jeremy Lin up against Talor Battle 2 times. So if Lin can pull off what he pulled off against BC last year against UConn or G'Town he will get even more exposure. I have alot of confidence that he will do a GREAT job against Penn State. I also believe that the game against Boston College will be televised giving him some T.V. time. So this will be one challenging yet interested season for Lin along with his teammates.

        I feel that with the skill set and height(6'3) Lin posesses, he will be a solid draft prospect. Also, if he send Harvard dancing this season and lead them to another upset over a ranked team during tournament time, he will get the draft prospects. Just imagine the hype he will get if he gets Harvard into the sweet 16 (just hoping) I predict Jeremy Lin to average 20pts, 5ast, 5reb, and 2stls per game this season.

       I will like to see Lin get drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers next year joining the future nucleus of Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, DeAndre Jordan, and Al Thorton.
