There was a point in the playoffs when the Miami Heat had to game plan for Jeremy Lin. Oh, what a couple of years can do.

He’s never going to be the answer as any team’s starting point guard.

Though, he could solve a team’s backup point guard dilemma.

Prediction: Signs two-year deal in Houston

Next: No. 23
