Brooklyn Nets: Jeremy Lin & the Two-Position Player Concept
In our second look at the Brooklyn Nets right before their first preseason game of the 2016-2017 NBA season, we focus on the team making up for some of their more glaring weaknesses by trying to use as many two-position players as possible (and maybe even three).

Jeremy Lin Wants to Make the Brooklyn Nets Fun Again
At his best, Jeremy Lin is one of the more exciting players in the NBA. Yes, for those who haven’t been following us following Lin’s career, you may be surprised to read it.
