By no means is it okay for the Rockets rookies to have forgotten their likely pink-colored kindergarten backpacks meant to be carried around at all times during their rookie season. The rookies need to show obedience and a willingness to do whatever it takes to get through the first season by following the orders of the veterans. Lin sure did in his rookie season:
In all seriousness, Lin will be going into his third season, and believe it or not, looks to act as a veteran and a leader for the team despite his own limited experience in the league. There is already a relatively set plan for what the team hopes and expects from the unpredictable phenom guard, and if some of those expectations are met, the Rockets won’t actually be “Bobcats material“.
