Jeremy Lin is optimistic that he and Dwight Howard will develop chemistry as a pick-and-roll duo. "[Dwight] really likes to play pick-and-roll and I really like to play pick-and-roll," Lin said, "so I hope we can work really well together." Dwight averaged an excellent 1.3 points per possession as a roll-man with the Lakers last season. The Rockets were No. 2 in pick-and-roll efficiency, but they ran half as many as L.A. and the possessions were dominated by James Harden and Chandler Parsons--even Patrick Beverley ran more than Lin.
