Jeremy Lin is hoping you won't be able to recognize him in his return to New York City. The former New York Knicks and newly signed Brooklyn Nets star recently took to his own blog page to let fans know he plans on tweaking his shooting and overall game this off-season in ways that could take him to an entirely different level.

"So this summer, my number 1 priority by far is my jump shot," he posted. "Working on all types of jump shots: catch-and-shoot 3's, off-the-dribble 3's, mid-range jumpers, iso jumpers. I've always had a knack for attacking the rim, finishing or getting to the free throw line, but if I am able to really consistently hit shots from the outside, it would take my game to a whole new level."

New Shot

Lin also talked about how he's changed his form and lowered the release point on his shot, alterations he hopes will help him get his shot off faster and make it more consistent.

"On nights when I'm tired I can still shoot it well," he added. "I've also been working on my floaters and change of pace game because as I get older, I will rely less and less on my athleticism."

Lin shot 33 percent from long distance with the Hornets last season, but wasn't much better on mid-range attempts, finishing in the mid-30 percent range.

Across the league, defenders have grown accustomed to trying to force him into becoming just a jump shooter, taking away his driving lanes and playing off of him as much as they can.

Lin is hoping all his extra work will help him even the score in that regard this season.

Ball in Lin's Hands

Ditto for Nets rookie Coach Kenny Atkinson, who has made no secret of the fact he plans to have the Brooklyn offense revolve around his new $36 million star this season.

 "Obviously we want him to play like he did when he was in New York for that brief stretch," Atkinson recently shared of the 11-game stretch with the Knicks in 2012 where Lin averaged 24 points and nine assists.

"I'd love that," he added. "What I really loved about that part is how everybody remembers the scoring, but I remember him distributing the ball and really making a lot of plays out of the pick-and-roll for other people, too."

Perhaps with that in mind, Lin noted he also makes studying the Nets' offense a regular part of his daily workout.

"I'm going into the next three years [thinking they] should be the best years from an athletic prime standpoint," he recently added. "If you look at when NBA players peak, a lot of times it's 27-30."
