by Chad Ford, ESPN Is Perry Jones III going to be a superstar or a dud? That's the question many NBA GMs are pondering right now. Perry Jones三世究竟会成为超级球星或者无三小路用，现在很多球探都想知道。 Given his A-plus talent and C-minus motor … your guess is as good as any. 考量他A+等级的天分与C-等级的打球动力，两者皆有可能。 His draft stock has been falling all year as fed-up scouts and GMs feel that he's out of excuses. 随着对他失望的球探跟总管们觉得他已没有藉口好找，PJIII的选秀价值下滑。 But there is an interesting subtext to the Jones debate. Are we looking at his game the wrong way? Maybe the reason he struggles to dominate is because he's being asked to play out of position. 但围绕着他的争论里仍有一点值得讨论：有没有可能大家解读PJIII球赛的角度都有 误？也许他宰制力不足的原因是被安排在失当的位置上？ "He really has the game of a 2-guard or a small forward," one respected NBA GM told ESPN.com. "Baylor used him as a center for the past two years, so you rarely got to see him comfortable. It's like, what if UConn had tr -ied to play Rudy Gay at the 5? I think people would've had a very different opinion of him on draft night." 「他有道地的得分後卫或小前锋的打法」一位广受尊敬的总管这麽说「两年来贝勒 大学把他当中锋用。就好像假使康乃狄克大学拿Rudy Gay打中锋会如何？我想等到 选秀那晚人们将对PJIII大大改观」。 Jones has frustrated scouts since his high school days. He's always had the requisite size, length and athleticism to be an NBA stud. He also has had a fairly advanced perimeter game for a while. He can handle the ball and break guys down off the dribble and has a solid jump shot. He has alw -ays been the team's most willing passer. Had Scott Drew let him run the point, would things have been different? PJIII表现不如预期早在高中就开始了。他有足以在NBA安身立命的体型、身高和机动 力，外围火力一度还有显着进步。他能用运球技术或犀利跳投打败防守者，一直以来 也都是全队最不吝於分享球的选手。倘若Scott Drew教头让它控球，情况会有所不同 吗？ Scouts have focused on Jones' perceived lack of toughness. He doesn't block shots. He shies away from contact. He floats a lot out on the perimeter. It's rare to see him aggressively take control in the paint. Those are all things that elite 4s do in college. But if he's a wing? The standard may be just a little bit different. 球探聚焦於PJIII的「不够硬」，他不太盖锅、回避肢体碰撞、喜欢外围游走，鲜少看 见积极打进篮下控制禁区，上述都是大学顶级PF的责任……但假设他是侧翼呢，标准 恐怕要另外订。 So what is he? I spoke with an NBA scout last year who had an interesting take. He said NBA scouts should quit trying to project what a player should be and focus on scouting a player based on what the player thinks he is. So，PJIII究竟是？去年某位球探在跟我对谈中提出有趣的论点：NBA球探该停止去预 设球员该成为那个位置，而是以球员认定自己该是哪个位置的角度来观察。 "Players are who they think they are, not who you think they are," the scout said. "Perry Jones thinks like a point guard, not a big man. That's where his heart is. Embrace that and he's going to be amazing. Fight it and he could be a huge disappointment." 「球员呈现的是他心里描绘的自己，而非外人给他的框架，PJIII认为自己是个PG，不 算长人，此为他本心所在，能拥抱其本心则强悍，与其抗拒则带来巨大失落」。 A year and a few months later and that's where we are. Draft Jones as a dom -inant 4 man who will defend, make a living in the paint and outwork the next guy and you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Let him play like Rudy Gay, give him the ball on the wing and let him create and he might just surprise you. 这段谈话距今已一年多。想选进PJIII并期望他成为善守、在禁区讨生活的硬派大前锋 ，那麽你恐怕要失望。让他像Rudy Gay一般侧翼持球，发挥其创意，也许能带给你惊 喜。 We currently have Jones ranked No. 9 on our Big Board and have him going No. 12 to the Milwaukee Bucks in our Lottery Mock Draft. Both of those numbers are probably close to his floor as an NBA prospect. If he has great workouts and if a team with the right system is drafting above that, Jones could go anywhere between 5 and 12 on draft night. 现阶段PJIII在ESPN模拟选秀被预测为12顺位中选，但如果他在试训中有良好表现，再 搭配良好的战术体系，他的顺位不排除落在5~12名之间。 因为是ESPN Insider，所以就不贴来源了 ※Perry Jones的总教练Scott Drew已证实他将投入本次选秀。 ※虽然Chad Ford的模拟选秀要从乐透顺位正式抽签决定後，才慢慢有参考价值， 不过还是提一下他的Mock2.0版本骑士就是选到Perry Jones。 --
