Nets coach Kenny Atkinson is ready to hand the ball to Jeremy Lin and let him be the quarterback. "I don't think there will be a quarterback controversy right off the bat," Atkinson cracked. "I think that everybody thinks Jeremy's best position is that combo guard off the bench. We took a little kind of outside of the box idea and said he can be our full-time point guard... I saw it in flashes in New York that he can distribute the ball, He has got great vision. I think if you look at his attributes, he can play and defend the point guard position. I see him leading our team, I see him being a great pick-and-roll combination with Brook (Lopez). I think that is part of the reason we got him, we challenged him with that role."
