Lakers Training Camp Day 3
This is the 3rd day of the practice. Coach Scott put more and more offensive drills while the camp progress. It is clear that Lin is not the media’s focus for this LAL team. Therefore, we really do not get to see a lot of him in action. As we conclude this post, I want to point out that,
- Lin is a known factor to the coaching staff, and he is performing like what coaches thinks he could in my opinion,
- the video I included below seems like a lowlight of Lin. However, those videos are edited and we really do not know what was the objective of the drill and how did Lin performed overall. It simply can not conclude Lin’s game by any means. I think he will show his game more in the real NBA games.
Note that Laker.com might release the whole video for today’s scrimmage. We might get the chance to see more Lin in that video. – Brent

Two articles pop out, and both are positive about Lin. Good to know that more and more people covering NBA recognize Lin’s game.

Steve Nash on Jeremy Lin's strengths: "He get's to the basket. He can really get in there at the rim cause problems, create fouls."

Byron on Jeremy Lin: "Jeremy's looking great. He's just pure hustle. He just plays so hard, and he's so smart. He has a nose for the ball."

Again, many running after the scrimmage. Lin and Co. are going to be well conditioned. Scott really set the tone perfectly it seems. But still it was mostly about discipline and conditioning. We will know more about how Lin will be used in the 1st preseason games vs DEN. –Brent

Ronnie Price continues to impress in camp so far. Kobe's a fan of how he plays. Has a chance as a backup PG to Nash and Lin.
