I Have Too Many Good Point Guards, Should I Pick Up Jeremy Lin?

1. That Guy Says

   Every year, in every fantasy sport, there are a few players who appear out of nowhere and play out of this world… then end up disappearing just as quickly.
   Jeremy Lin is that man this year.
   He’s been awesome, I don’t doubt it. But he’s also the PG on a team that has Carmelo Anthony… and Carmelo has already proven he can’t even share shots with Amare Stoudemire, much less some guy nobody ever heard of a week or so ago.
   When Melo and Amare are both healthy, Lin’s value will plummet. He’ll still have value, but he’ll be more in the Jeff Teague level of value. And I wouldn’t consider dropping any of those guys for Jeff Teague.
   Also don’t forget… Baron Davis isn’t too far from returning. Even if Lin continues to start, Davis will take minutes from him.
   The biggest value for Lin right now is trade value… even if you don’t need him, he’s great to pick up cause you can trade him. But if he’s still a free agent, then apparently everyone in your league doesn’t think he’s that valuable. You could pick him up then trade someone like Rondo, but if you don’t have extra space to pick him up then it’s a risk for you to drop a guy you might need to do so.
   Pass on him. I promise, one month from now when Jeremy Lin is back on earth with the rest of us, you’re not going to regret missing out on him.

2. Sports Pro Says

   Tough call. Wade’s not a PG, but you’re not dropping him anyway
   Rubio, Wall are playing just as good as Lin (maybe a bit worse, but you can’t drop either)
   and rondo hasn’t been great, but he has a lot of upside.
   If there’s really no SG/F/C that you can drop, then dont add him
