Three-time All-Ivy League performer...As a senior, became the first player in Ivy League history to record 1,450 points, 450 rebounds, 400 assists and 200 steals...Led the Ancient Eight in steals each of the last three seasons...Unanimous choice for All-Ivy League First Team his final season at Harvard...Has solid size for the point guard position at 6-3...Shoots at an incredibly high efficiency rate from inside the three-point arc and knows how to get to the foul line...Played combo guard in college but must prove that he is capable of running the show to earn a spot on an NBA roster...Does not have the stroke to be a big-time shooter...Biggest problem has been turnovers, as Lin gives the ball away far too often...Is weak when attacking the basket with his left hand...Not considered one of the better guard prospects in this draft.
