LOL almost everything you've said is false. Lin's only defensive deficiency is the fact that he helps too much with interior defense, leaving his guy to help his bigs. Lin is actually a very good defender and one of the best shot blockers for his size. You're just repeating the myth that was spread by the Houston media and fans who blamed Lin for not being able to cover for Harden's complete lack of defense.

Lin runs a fast-paced offense better than half the PGs in the league can. "Slow, half court" my ass. He went to Charlotte specifically because Clifford runs an pick and roll offense that's very face-paced. You're right that he's a good passer, but wrong that he shoots lights out. He changed his shooting form last year to try and mimic players like Curry, Klay, and Kyrie, who have short and fast release. Therefor, his shooting percentage suffered. If there's any hole in Lin's game, it's his shooting. If he can develop a good shot, he'd be unstoppable.

As for your "can't start at an NBA level anymore..." Just another naysayer who doesn't watch Lin play. Here, I'll get you started on your path from ignorance.
