Linsanity always seemed to come to life whenever he faced Toronto, so consider that an added benefit to landing Lin, a long-time Raptor killer: keeping him away from their East rivals. He's averaging 16.9 points vs the Raps over his career - more than vs any other team.

Let the FVV vs. Lin debates begin...
the strengths Lin brings that far outpace what VanVleet has posted so far this season. Lowry is an elite finisher, in efficiency if not volume — 18.1 percent of his attempts are inside of three feet from the hoop, and he's shooting 64.9 percent on those attempts. VanVleet gets to the basket more — 25.2 percent of his attempts from inside three feet — but he's making just 50.3 percent of them, a huge dropoff from Lowry. Lin? 30.3 percent of his attempts are inside of three feet, and he's making 62.4 percent of those attempts. He remains one of the best in the league at getting those buckets at the rim on the drive, the engine of his Linsanity period.
Lin also edges VanVleet on assist percentage, rebound percentage, steal percentage — in virtually every way, Lin is an upgrade right now for a team with title aspirations. Moreover, VanVleet's availability is in question, as he'll be out for at least the next three weeks with an undisclosed ligament injury. Still, as long as Lin plays at the same level he's displayed in Atlanta, don't expect VanVleet to get those minutes back once he returns.

To be fair, Lin IS way better at the role the Raptors have (foolishly) foisted on VanVleet this season. That's the upside of this move - if Lin is running PnR and driving, VanVleet is spotting up and moving the defence with timely cuts and shifting around the perimeter and defending, where he actually has tremendous value.
