Jeremy Lin is showing his full support and love for his teammates in Brooklyn Nets following his successful knee rehab, with the Nets player claiming he is excited for what the future entails for them.
Lin is certainly looking forward to joining his younger teammates, most of whom are between five to ten years younger than him. Among them are Caris LeVert, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, D'Angelo Russell, Jarrett Allen and Spencer Dinwiddie, all of whom Lin praised and with whom he is excited to play in the next season.
Lin also held two of said players in high regard, one of them being LeVert. "He can affect the game in a variety of ways. He's an extremely mobile and disruptive defender, gets in a lot of passing lanes. He was probably our best player during the summer in pickup, and he's going to be really good — he's going to grow and he's super hungry. I think he can play pick and roll, off the ball, he can really do a lot. That's my guy. I think he's going to be big time for the franchise," Lin said of his teammate.
The other one is Allen, whom Lin believes has improved a lot particularly with his footwork and whom he thinks shows lots of potential for the team. He implied that since Allen is still young but with huge potential, he can still improve a whole lot more than what he is today.
As for Lin's knee injury, he has been very positive about his recovery, and he no longer has to wear a knee brace, meaning he is well now and is ready for the season. He also claimed he has been mobile for several months now after his rehab, so all is going according to plan and the Nets might see their strong comeback after last season's mishap due to Lin's absence.
With that said, Lin's rehab is still not finished and will still have to properly take care that he does not overextend himself or hurt his knee again.
