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

  2. Watch JLin One-On-One Interview Part 1
    – 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)
  3. 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
