Walt Frazier says Lin could adjust to any system
MSG Knicks analyst Walt Frazier joined the show to talk about the Jeremy Lin Lin phenomenon.
“I think Lin can adjust to any system,” Frazier said. Frazier pointed out that the Mavs changed up their defense on him and Lin still did well. He said Lin has shown a lot of versatility.
Frazier said he didn’t jump on the Lin bandwagon at first. He only did after the Mavericks game on Sunday.
“I think Lin can adjust to any system,” Frazier said. Frazier pointed out that the Mavs changed up their defense on him and Lin still did well. He said Lin has shown a lot of versatility.
Frazier said that he’d force him right and try to contain him, but it’s hard for defenses. “It’s sort of like holding water in your hand,” Frazier said. “You can only do it for so long.”
Frazier thinks that Lin will be better when Carmelo Anthony returns, buecause he won’t see as many double-teams.
From a team standpoint, Frazier said the defense has been the key to this run, because they’re getting turnovers and letting Lin do his thing. “Everyone is looking at the offense,” Frazier said. “I’m looking at the defense.”
Frazier said this team will be dangerous in the postseason. “No one wants to face this team in the playoffs,” Frazier said.
