Palo Alto native Jeremy Lin is on the verge of signing a two-year deal with the Warriors.

Lin, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard, was undrafted out of Harvard, but he played for the Dallas Mavericks' summer league team and piqued the interest of several teams. Lin's deal would be partially guaranteed this year, and the Warriors would hold a team option for the second season.

Lin has the game of a shooting guard, but probably needs to play point guard in the NBA. The Warriors need a point guard after trading C.J. Watson to the Chicago Bulls.
