I am super excited about Jeremy Lin going to the Charlotte Hornets.
Lin is a very good passer and a good passer is something that the Hornets technically do not have. They have Kemba Walker who is their starting point guard but Walker is more of a score first kind of guy. On the other hand Lin is more of a pass first kind of guy who is always looking for the open player but can still take the ball to the rim effectively. Lin can also help the big men on the Hornets create a shot for themselves like Al Jefferson and Frank Kaminsky.
Lin will also bring a scoring ability to this young team which is what they will need coming from the bench. Last year, the Hornets lacked talent coming from the bench. They didn't really have a point guard last year that backed up Kemba Walker that could drive to the hoop and play through contact as well as Lin does. It will be great for the Hornets to have somebody like Lin who can come off the bench for Kemba Walker and make some plays for them.
One player that Lin will play well with is Al Jefferson who he can work on the pick and roll with. Al Jefferson is a center who can work down low and make a short jumper that most centers can not make. When Jefferson and Lin are playing at the same time they will work well together.
Lin will also play well with Jeremy Lamb who was also added to the Hornets but from the Thunder. Lamb is a good shooter from 3-point range and can start sinking deep shots once and a while. With Lin and him probably coming off the bench together, they can both create some shots and get points on the board.
Jeremy Lin will help out this young team in the Hornets in many different ways. I'm not saying that Jeremy Lin is an elite player or anything like that but he can still make an impact on how the Hornets play this coming year.
