I follow a lot of Sports & NBA people (and fans) on twitter - none are claiming him to be a future all-star. In fact, i follow an asian knicks fan (netw3rk) who tweets about Lin all the time, and even he has a level head about it. i have yet to hear anyone say that he is a future all-star.
The consensus is that it's a great story, it's great for the knicks, it's great for asian-americans, and he can be a contributor in the NBA. ESPN talks about him all the time because it is THE story in the NBA right now - but i've never heard even one of their sensationalist anchors claim him to be all-star material.
If your only other sample is RealGM, then so be it. I don't venture over there.
