Look, Lin has played very very good ball, and it's a great story. I'm not denying that. I'd just like to see some objectivity applied when discussing him.

I think I'm being very objective. I've acknowledged the turnovers - how can you not? It's a fact that he is turning the ball over, and he needs to improve that aspect of his game (which is a teachable skill). But did you even look at the link scoobay posted? Highest usage rate among PGs, lower TO% than most of them, (most notably Nash).
Of course a higher usage rate results in more shots and points. That's why it's important to look at the percentages. FG%, TO%, AST% tell the story.
At this point you're arguing with no one. Arguing for the sake of arguing. You're not being objective, but on the negative end of the spectrum. Pot, meet Kettle.
