As part of the ESPN Insider preview of the Nets, five ESPN pundits were asked what PG owns New York, Jeremy Lin or Derrick Rose, both of whom are new to their teams. The opinion was unanimous: It’s Lin.
Elhassan: I'm not going to be difficult and name a third player, so I'll say Lin. First, he'll have more of an opportunity to dominate the ball; even the most optimistic projection of Rose still has to keep Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis happy.
Second, Lin doesn't have any real competition for his spot (Greivis Vasquez is coming off lingering ankle issues), while Rose has to deal with Brandon Jennings.
