https://tinyurl.com/bpjxrm95 After drafting two big men in last year’s NBA draft, the Timberwolves might be targeting a point guard as they hone in on who they may select in this year’s draft. 在去年選進兩名長人後，灰狼隊今年可能會將目光轉向控球後衛。 They have the No. 28 pick in the first round Tuesday, but they might be looking for a way to move up, especially if they like what they see from the player they are hosting for an individual workout Saturday. 雖然他們在下週二選秀擁有首輪第 28 順位，但或許他們正在尋找向上交易 籤位可能，特別是如果他們對本週六前來單獨試訓的球員感到滿意的話。 The Wolves are set to play host to Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. for an individual workout, a source told the Minnesota Star Tribune. 據消息人士向《明尼蘇達星報》（Minnesota Star Tribune）透露，灰狼隊 已安排為 Alabama 大學後衛 Labaron Philon Jr. 進行單獨試訓。 Philon is projected to go in the top 20 by mock drafts from ESPN and The Athletic. He is a 6-4 guard who averaged 22 points and five assists for Alabama last season. He shot 40% from three-point range on 6.2 attempts per game. 在 ESPN 和 The Athletic 的模擬選秀中，Philon 被預測將在前 20 順位中 選。這位身高 6 呎 4 吋的後衛上賽季在 Alabama 大學場均進帳 22 分和 5 次助攻，並有每場出手 6.2 次， 40% 的三分線命中率。 Philon would add to the Wolves’ ballhandling while also being a player who can create his own shot or hit open looks that came his way. The questions around him are about his strength and athleticism translating to the next level, which is something the Wolves will have to consider when they have both the Thunder and Spurs in their way in the Western Conference, two teams who have plenty of depth at the guard position. Philon 不僅能提升灰狼隊的控球深度，同時也能自主創造出手機會，或把握 住外線空檔。目前對他的質疑在於力量與運動能力能否轉換到更高強度的職 業賽場，這是灰狼隊必須深思的問題，因為在西區晉級道路上，正擋著兩支 在後衛防線擁有極佳深度的球隊。 Philon’s workout is an indication the Wolves are canvassing their options in terms of moving up from No. 28 in the first round. The last time the Wolves moved up in the draft for a guard, they did so in a major way two years ago. They didn’t have a first-round pick and instead traded a 2031 unprotected first-rounder and a 2030 pick swap to the Spurs to get Rob Dillingham at No. 8. Philon 的這次試訓表明了灰狼隊正在權衡各種方案，評估如何從首輪第 28 順位向上交易。上一次球隊為了選進後衛而向上交易，發生在兩年前的大動 作：當時他大膽送出 2031 年未保護的首輪籤和 2030 年的選秀權互換資格 給馬刺隊，藉此換回第 8 順位的 Rob Dillingham。 --- 目前預測落點在樂透末段到20順位前，而且有被邀請進小綠屋。 如果滿意試訓結果的話，幾乎可以確定要向上交易才選得到。 康總會繼2024年選秀會後，再度大棒一揮來累積天份？ --
