How Jeremy Lin has helped the Nets so far

Last year, the Nets struggled a lot. They posted a 21-61 record in the 2015-16 season. But over the off season, they made a lot of changes. Starting with a new coach, Kenny Atkinson, and a bunch of other new players, it's safe to say that the Brooklyn Nets are a completely different team.

One key player they acquired is Jeremy Lin. The Nets were in need of a true point guard after not having good results with Donald Sloan and Jarrett Jack, former Net point guards. And so far, it looks like the Nets have found the right guard. Their record isn't great, but there are a lot of bright spots in this Nets team. And Jeremy Lin is creating a lot of it.

Bojan Bogdonavic was not a big factor in the Nets offense last year. Part of the reason why was because he wasn't getting the ball as much as he needed to. This year so far, Lin has been getting him the ball a lot. Last year, Bogdonavic averaged 11.2 points per game. This year, he is averaging 15.4.

Brook Lopez has been very efficient so far. Lin has been getting him the ball a lot. He admitted after the season opener against the Celtics that he needed to do a better job of getting Lopez the ball. He has been doing that well within the past few games. Now I think that Lopez has to do a better job of getting the ball back to Lin after he gets it in the paint. He has to remember that not every shot is a good shot when he is posting up.

I have also noticed that the Nets take a lot of threes. Once Grevis Vasquez and Randy Foye come back from their injuries, I can't even imagine what the Nets 3 point attempts per game will be.

Overall, Lin has helped the Nets a lot. As of right now, he has a hamstring injury and will be out for at least two weeks. It will be interesting to see how the Nets play without him.
