10:03: Presser started
Coach Clifford: Fortunate to have @JLin7 for 3-pt shot & be playmaker
10:05 JLin: Rich Cho flew from Orlando & came to my house to sign paperwork. They believed in me
10:09 JLin: To find my full potential, I need 2 find out the right system/coach
10:10 CHA reporter: “It looks like a circus in LA last year to outsiders. 😆 How does that help you to be leader in CHA?”
JLin: I learned more about details from Nash & Kobe
10:12 JLin: We want to make the playoff this year, not just sneak in the 8th spot
10:15 JLin: God always made it clear to me. 1 Team in any journey (Harvard, HOU) Have peace in God. Thought 1 team but it’s another
Charlotte people is very nice. “Welcome! Welcome!” not asking for autographs “I’m on the phone with my GF. Want to talk to her? … Uhm, Noo?”
10:18 JLin: Listening to Coach Clifford, I appreciate the honesty, communication, system that had been issues in the past few years
10:21 Coach Clifford: I’ve always been a big fan of him. Not just 1 game, but coaching against him helped to evaluate him
10:21 Presser ended. Some photo-ops to be taken

– CHA Assistant Coach Stephen Silas was instrumental to develop JLin as a rookie in GSW
– Coach Clifford loves the game & is such BB junkie watching films, (watched 8 full JLin games)
– JLin: Kemba is dynamic, should’ve been an All-Star
– JLin: said Jefferson is so smart (can shoot/pop or roll in PnR) - Watch JLin One-On-One Interview Part 2
– Nicholas Batum will be really good for us, can play multiple positions. The way he plays is how everyone should play: unselfish, team basketball
– Coach Clifford’s team is Top 5-8 Defensive Team. He’s going to make me much better defender. My ability to be a really good weak side/help defender will fit well
