    FG% on Drives (*min. 5 Drives/Game)
    1.@JLin7: 63.0%
    2.@KingJames: 61.5%
    3.@tonyparker: 57.3%
    4.@dwyanewade: 56.9%
    5.@mconley11: 56.8%

    Not surprising to see Lebron, Wade and Parker on that list, but Lin:eek: at number ONE!?!?!

    well, to be fair, it was hidden in the twitter thread.

    You must be a LOF!

    These stats are biased.

    Sample size too small.

    He is injured.

    He is Asian.

    Seriously, that's one of Lin's specialties. Driving with his deceptively quick first step. I expected him to be above average but to be currently#1 is a great effort.

    I don't follow the twitter thread. If Clutch believes this thread is redundant he can close it.

    That's extremely surprising given the fact that he rarely, if ever, uses his left hand on drives to the basket.

    this isnt redundant and for once i think this lin thread is thread worthy.

    That is very interesting... I just dont understand how he just disappears some nights...if he has the ability to get to the rim at will and score at that efficiency.

    Has he ever disappeared when Harden wasn't playing? He needs the self-anointed PG to pass him the ball for him to drive to the basket.

    confirmed. fchowd is a known LOF. Must add to LOF database. Stats lie. Computers lie. Charles Barkley lies.

    He actually has been going to his left quite often and successfully this season.

    Seriously, don't try to pretend sample size doesn't matter. Lin has played well, but he has to keep it up. Since the lose to Philly were he made 9 3's, Jeremy has shot 43%, and 19% from 3. All these numbers could look a lot different at the end of the season. Just remember last year.

    Not pretending anything. I will be happy if Lin is even top 15 in FG% on drives by the end of the season. I am just feeling a little sick from all the LOF vs LOH posts. I don't believe Lin is elite and I don't think he is garbage either. Just happy seeing Lin doing well and wanting to see the Rockets doing well with his contributions.

    For real man. Harden never passes to Lin. I think there is some sort of deep seeded jealousy going on there. Probably starting from this specific stat.

    Yeah, I think Matt Bullard mentioned this before Lin's injuries. Good to see :)

    Last year, he was shooting 38% at the end of November, and finished at 44% overall. A lot can change between 18 games and the end of the season.
