Week 8 of the NBA season is here and the talk of the NBA has to be Jeremy Lin. Being a point guard in the NBA is tough because you have to be a floor general, someone that is smart enough to see everything going on around and you adapt accordingly; that is where Lin’s Harvard education comes into play. Not only that, but the kid is humble. Show me an NBA player that sleeps on his brother’s couch and I will show you a guy headed to the D-League!
From a fantasy standpoint, Lin is putting up an amazing average of 27.3 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 steals over the last week. Obviously he can’t keep that line up all season, because he would then go from waiver wire to possible league MVP. Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire are going to reassert themselves at some point, and Baron Davis will be healthy at some point, but Lin isn’t going to just disappear and I really believe this guy is going to finish the season as the waiver wire pick-up of the 2011-12 season.
