Though the Atlanta Hawks are clearly in a rebuild this season, that hasn’t stopped NBA fans from voting for the two most famous players on the roster: Vince Carter and Jeremy Lin.
Both Carter and Lin joined the team this offseason and have performed their roles serviceably, oftentimes outperforming that “serviceable” claim with strong showings that lead to rare Hawks victories.
After rupturing his patellar tendon last season, consummate professional Jeremy Lin is having an excellent bounce-back season in which he is 5th on the Hawks in scoring at 10.6 PPG and 3rd in Player Efficiency Rating at 17.
