※ [本文转录自 PACERS 看板] 作者: pheather (鲭) 看板: PACERS 标题: [外电] Draft grades: Evaluating every team, from A+ to D 时间: Sat Jun 28 04:07:16 2008 ESPN: Draft grades: Evaluating every team, from A+ to D http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2008/columns/story? columnist=ford_chad&page=DraftGrades-080627 http://0rz.tw/c84mb By Chad Ford Updated: June 27, 2008 When I'm not covering the draft for ESPN, I grade students for a living as a university professor. So I know that instant grades are based on incomplete information. But they are also a necessary tool for evaluation. With that in mind ... how did the 30 NBA teams do in Thursday night's draft? Before Thursday, we billed this as a deep draft without a lot of star power -- and this year's grades reflect the quality of players available. Teams listed in alphabetical order by city. Atlanta Hawks Grade: Inc. Round 1: None Round 2: None Analysis: Atlanta sent this pick to the Phoenix Suns in 2005 as part of the Joe Johnson deal. Considering how well Johnson has played and the long three-year gap between the trade and this pick, we can't be too hard on the Hawks. The Suns took Robin Lopez with the pick. New Hawks GM Rick Sund isn't going to lose any sleep over missing out on him. 评价: 无法评论 老鹰在 2005 年 Joe Johnson 的交易中把今年的选秀权交易给了太阳 那是三年前的事了,现在 JJ 是名副其实的鹰王,我们没啥好批评老鹰的 今年太阳用这个选秀权选了 Robin Lopez,新的老鹰 GM Rick Sund 也 大可不必为了和他失之交臂而辗转难眠 Boston Celtics Grade: B Round 1: J. R. Giddens (30) Round 2: Bill Walker (47), Semih Erden (60) Analysis: The Celtics didn't make nearly the same splash in this year's draft, but they did come away with two elite athletes and an intriguing international prospect for down the road. If Giddens gains some maturity, he could be a nice, athletic shooter coming off the bench. Despite his knee injuries, Walker still has great athleticism -- his health will determine his ceiling. Overall, the Celtics addressed two positions very well for where they were drafting. 评价: B Celtics 在今年的选秀会中很不起眼,但他们仍然拿到了两个顶尖的运动员 以及一个引人遐想的国际球员 如果 Giddens 能成熟,那他会是个很好,具有运动力的替补射手. 撇开他的膝伤,Walker 仍然具有很强大的运动力 --他的健康会决定他的极限 总的来讲,Celtics 在他们的两个选秀位置干得很不错. Charlotte Bobcats Grade: B- Round 1: D.J. Augustin (9), Alexis Ajinca (20) Round 2: Kyle Weaver (38) Analysis: I'm a D.J. Augustin admirer, and I think he'll be an improvement over Raymond Felton eventually. The Bobcats were shopping Felton before the draft and I think they'll keep doing it now. Ajinca is intriguing on paper and in workouts, but I'm highly skeptical he can turn 5 points per game in the French league into a solid NBA career. I think they wasted some cash buying the pick. Weaver is a Larry Brown-type defensive specialist who can play two positions. He's a nice get at No. 38. 评价: B- 我很尊敬 D.J,而且我觉得他最终会比 Raymond Felton 更出色.山猫在选秀前 就常尝试兜售 Felton,我相信他们现在开始依然会继续这麽做. Ajinca 的资料和测试很让人感兴趣,但我怀疑他在法国联盟都只有 5 ppg, 来到 NBA 来还能有稳定的生涯吗? 我觉得他们浪费了这个顺位 Weaver 是个 Larry Brown 型的防守专家,能打两个位置,能在 38 号选到很棒. Chicago Bulls Grade: A Round 1: Derrick Rose (1) Round 2: Omer Asik (36), Sonny Weems (39) Analysis: The Bulls got lucky in the lottery and made it pay off by getting the right fit for their team. I'm not sure that Rose is the most talented basketball player in the draft, but he has every intangible that you'd want in a No. 1 pick: He's tough, strong and explosive, and just as important, he's a leader who will put the team first. He'll be an All-Star for a decade and end up with a ring on his finger someday. What else can you ask for in a No. 1 pick? Asik was the only international player I really liked in the second round. He is so active and has such a great motor that he should find a place in the league the same way Anderson Varejao did. But his contract issues could delay his arrival for a while. My only issue with the pick is the high price Chicago paid for it: three second-round picks. That's a lot for someone who might never wear an NBA jersey. Weems is an athlete, but right now there's no roster space for him. 评价:A 公牛很好运的抽中了乐透大奖,并将之兑现,选了对队伍完美的组合 我不能肯定 Rose 是本届选秀中最有天赋的球员,但他具备一切状元该有的无形资产 他够硬,够强壮,具有爆发力,而同样重要的,他是个领袖,将团队摆在优先 他会成为 10 年的全明星,总有一天会拿到总冠军.对一个状元签你还能要求什麽? Asik 是第二轮中我唯一真正喜欢的国际球员.他很积极,有强大的动力, 他可以像 Anderson Varejao 一样在联盟中挣得一席之地.但他的合约问题 会拖延到他报到的时间.我对这个顺位唯一的疑问是公牛付出的代价太高: 花了三个二轮才换到,对一个不知会不会穿上 NBA 球衣的球员未免也太多了 Weems 是个运动员,但现阶段已经没有给他的位置了. Cleveland Cavaliers Grade: A- Round 1: J. J. Hickson (19) Round 2: None Analysis: Hickson has been one of my sleepers in the draft. He has an NBA body and great athleticism, and he can play inside and out. His game needs to develop, but the raw tools are impressive. He could be a nice long-term replacement for Joe Smith. At No. 19, he was one of the few players left on the board with a chance of being a great player. 评价: A- Hickson 是我认为选秀中的沉睡者. 他有 NBA 的身材,很好的运动力,而且他能里能外 他的球技还需要发展,但现在这些青涩的部份就已经让人印象深刻. 他会是 Joe Smith 长期的替代方案. 在 19 顺位,他是台面上少数有机会成长为伟大球员的其中之一 Dallas Mavericks Grade: D Round 1: None Round 2: Shan Foster (51) Analysis: Dallas sent its first-round pick to the Nets as part of what is shaping up to be a disastrous deal for Jason Kidd. With the Mavs looking old and on the downward slope, they no longer have a pick to start to reload their team. Foster is a good shooter, but he has virtually no chance of getting any burn in Dallas unless the team decides not to sign any guards this summer in free agency. 评价: D 达拉斯在那桩毁灭性的 Jason Kidd 交易中把第一轮送给了篮网. 当这支小牛 看起来像只老牛,越来越往下滑,他们居然还没有选秀权来注入新血 Foster 是个好的射手,但他在达拉斯完全没有机会,除非球队在今年夏天不打算 签下任何自由球员. Denver Nuggets Grade: Inc. Round 1: None Round 2: None Analysis: The Nuggets traded their first-round pick to the Bobcats for cash. Given what was left on the board at No. 20, it's hard to say it was a big mistake, though I think Mario Chalmers could have been a nice guard for them. 评价: 无法评价 金块用选秀权向山猫换来了现金. 看看 20 顺位台面上可选的人物,也很难说这样 的决策是个错误,尽管我认为 Mario Chalmers 对他们来讲会是个很棒的後卫 Detroit Pistons Grade: B Round 1: None Round 2: Walter Sharpe (32), Trent Plaisted (46), Deron Washington (59) Analysis: No one knows if Sharpe will be a stud or a bust. But I like the pick just because it's Detroit president Joe Dumars being bold, as usual, trying to reach for greatness. Sometimes things don't pan out, but he keeps trying. Plaisted is solid at No. 46, and Washington is a great athlete who will probably play overseas. Sharpe will be the guy to watch, and since he's such a gamble, I'm not sure how to grade the pick. But for boldness, it gets a B. 评价: B 没有人知道 Sharpe 会成功或失败,但我还挺喜欢这个选秀,因为活塞老总一如往常 的勇於尝试,有时候事情无法尽如人意,但他仍努力不懈 Plaisted 在 46 是紮实的选秀,而 Washington 很可能会在海外打球. Sharpe 会是观察的重点,因为他是这样一个明显的赌注.我不确定如何评价这次选秀, 看在勇气的分上,我给 B Golden State Warriors Grade: A Round 1: Anthony Randolph (14) Round 2: Richard Hendrix (49) Analysis: Randolph has as much upside as anyone in the draft not named Beasley or Rose. But as with the huge upside guy they took last year, Brandan Wright, it might take Randolph a while to realize it. I'm assuming down the road they'll play Wright at the 4 and hope Randolph develops into a 3. Along with Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins, Wright and Randolph could form a nice young core for the time when Baron Davis, Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson move on. As for Hendrix, he can be a solid role player -- a good get at No. 49. 评价: A Randolph 比起本届选秀中 Beasley 和 Rose 之外的任何人上涨得都多. 但回头看看去年同样大涨的家伙: Brandan Wright,可能需要一点时间来了解一下 我认为 Wright 最後会定在 4 号而 Randolph 会发展成 3 号. 和 Monta Ellis 以及 Andris Biedrins 一起, Wright 和 Randolph 可以组成一组年轻的核心, 在 BD, Al Harrington 和 Stephen Jackson 离开之後 关於 Hendrix,他会是个紮实的角色球员 -- 49 顺位的好选择 Houston Rockets Grade: B+ Round 1: Donte Greene (28) Round 2: Joey Dorsey (33), Maarty Leunen (54) Analysis: The Rockets had a bizarre night. First they traded the guy they drafted at No. 25, Nicolas Batum, to the Blazers for Darrell Arthur and Joey Dorsey. Then they turned around and sent Arthur to Memphis for Greene. Why they didn't just select Greene at No. 27 is a mystery. I think they would've been better off keeping Arthur, but they still did well. Greene has upside as a Rashard Lewis-type forward, and Dorsey, if he gets his act together, could be the second coming of Ben Wallace. Both could help them down the road. Leunen? Not so much. 评价: B+ 火箭有个奇异的夜晚. 首先他们把 25 顺位选到的 Nicolas Batum,交易到拓荒者 换来 Darrell Arthur 和 Joey Dorsey,接着他们转头又把 Arthur 送到曼非斯换来 Greene.他们干麽不直接在 27 顺位选 Greene 还是个谜 我认为他们留着 Arthur 会更好,但他们还算干得不错. Greene 是个 Rashard Lewis 型的上涨类股,而 Dorsey 肯干的话,可能成为第二个 Ben Wallace. 两位都可以提供 球队帮助. Leunen? 没啥好说 Indiana Pacers Grade: A Round 1: Brandon Rush (13), Roy Hibbert (17) Round 2: None Analysis: To evaluate the Pacers, you have to take a step back a day to see how everything unfolded. They traded the chronically injured Jermaine O'Neal and a second-round pick for T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, Maceo Baston and the No. 17 pick. That means they added a starting point guard coming off a career year, significant cap space in 2009 and a prospect. Then Indiana swapped No. 11 and Ike Diogu for No. 13 and picked up a solid backup point guard, Jarrett Jack, and a local hero, Josh McRoberts. So in the course of two days, the Pacers rebuilt their team in a way that improves it now and in the future. The Pacers should be much more exciting to watch with a Ford/Jack/Rush/Mike Dunleavy backcourt. The additions of Hibbert and Nesterovic give them some much-needed size. And with several major expiring contracts, including Nesterovic, Marquis Daniels and Jeff Foster, they'll have some significant trading chips at the trade deadline or real cap space in the summer of 2009. Kudos to president Larry Bird and general manager David Morway for one of the most sophisticated rebuilding efforts I've seen. 评价: A （ ﾟдﾟ） 要评价溜马,得先倒带一天看看事情是怎样发生的.他们送走了长年病痛的小欧和 一个二轮,换来了 T.J Ford,大 N, Maceo Baston 以及 17 顺位.这意味着他们获得 了一个打出生涯年的先发级控卫,2009 年的大量薪资空间,还有一个新秀 接着溜马把 11 顺位和 Ike Diogu 换来了 13 顺位以及一个紮实的替补控卫, Jarrett Jack, 以及印城本地的英雄, Josh McRoberts. 所以,在这两天内,溜马以改善现在及未来的方式重建了队伍.溜马应该很兴奋看到 Ford/Jack/Rush/Dunleavy 的後场组合. Hibbert 和大N 的加入增加了他们迫切 需要的体型.而有着好几张到期合约,包括大 N, Marquis Daniels,和佛爷,他们 拥有不少交易筹码,在交易截止日,或是 2009 夏天年获得真正的薪资空间. 向总裁 Larry Bird 以及 GM David Morway 致上敬意,这是我看过最复杂的重建工作 之一 Los Angeles Clippers Grade: B+ Round 1: Eric Gordon (7) Round 2: DeAndre Jordan (35), Mike Taylor (55) Analysis: The Clippers were on the verge of a trade that would've gotten them the No. 4 pick in the draft. Their target was O.J. Mayo and the cost was the No. 7 pick and a future first-round pick. While they didn't get Mayo, they did get another player they wanted at No. 7, so it worked out for them. I'm not sold on Gordon. He's a good shooter and an excellent athlete, but he lacks two important things: a midrange game and size. Since L.A. also needed a point guard, I think D.J. Augustin would've been a better pick. What pushes the grade higher is grabbing Jordan in Round 2. He was overrated as a lottery prospect, with a questionable attitude and so-so production. But at this point in the draft, he is no risk and all reward. If Jordan develops, he could get some other GMs in hot water. If he fails, then nothing lost. Taylor is a nice player who could find a spot in the league. 评价: B+ 快艇差点就要达成拿到 #4 的交易.他们的目标锁定 Mayo,代价是 #7 以及未来的首轮 选秀权. 後来他们没拿到 Mayo,而选了第七顺位他们想要的球员,这样也不错 我不想为 Gordon 背书. 他是个好的射手,很优异的运动力,但他缺乏两样重要的东西: 中距离和体型. 既然快艇需要一个控卫,我认为 D.J Augustin 会是个更好的选择 让评价上升的是在第二轮捡到 Jordan. 他被高估为乐透人选,态度有问题,普普的测试 但在第二轮的这个点,捡他根本没风险只会净赚. 如果 Jordan 打得出来,那会让很多 错过他的 GM 跳脚. 打不出来,也没啥损失 Taylor 是个好球员,可以在联盟中找到一席之地. Los Angeles Lakers Grade: A Round 1: None Round 2: Joe Crawford (58) Analysis: Los Angeles traded the No. 28 pick to Memphis (along with their 2010 first-round pick plus Javaris Crittenton, Marc Gasol and Kwame Brown) as part of the Pau Gasol trade. I think the Lakers would do that deal a hundred times over. I don't see Crawford ever wearing a Lakers uniform, but at No. 58, what do you expect? 评价: A 湖人把 28 顺位交易到了曼非斯 (和 10 年的首轮,Javaris Crittenton, Marc Gasol Kwame Brown 一起) 作为 Pau Gasol 交易的筹码. 我想再问湖人 100 次,他们还是 会做这个交易. 我甚至没看过 Crawford 穿过湖人制服,但对於 58 顺位,你还期待什麽? Memphis Grizzlies Grade: B+ Round 1: O.J. Mayo (3), Darrell Arthur (27) Round 2: None Analysis: I've been hard on Memphis GM Chris Wallace for the Pau Gasol deal, but I thought he went a long way toward redeeming himself on draft night. The trade to get Mayo wasn't perfect for the Grizzlies. It cost them an excellent player in Mike Miller and a top prospect in Kevin Love, and it forced them to take back a contract that was actually worse than Brian Cardinal's -- the dreaded Marko Jaric contract. But the Grizzlies ended up with a player who has the potential to be better than Love, and they actually broke about even in the deal financially. They they traded the rights of Donte' Greene for Arthur and in the process filled their hole at power forward with a guy who was one of the most underrated 4s in the draft. They now have to figure out a few more deals (they are overloaded at the guard position and undermanned in the frontcourt), but overall I think Wallace did well, coming away with the third-best player in the draft, one of the few guys this year with real All-Star potential. 评价: B+ 在 Pau Gasol 的交易里,我对灰熊 GM Chris Wallace 很苛刻,但我认为在选秀夜 他赎了不少罪. 获得 Mayo 的交易对灰熊来说并非完美. 花了一个好球员 Mike Miller 和一个前段 顺位 Kevin Love, 并被迫吞下比 Brian Cardinal 更烂的 Marko Jaric 合约. 但 灰熊最後还是拿到了比 Love 更有潜力的球员,财务上也算打平. 接着他们用 Greene 换来 Arthur,本届最被低估的球员之一填补了他们在 PF 位置的洞 他们现在必须去弄清接下来的交易 (後场爆满,而前场匮乏),但总的来讲,我认为 Wallace 干得不错,拿到本届第三好的球员,今年少数具有全明星潜力的其中之一 Miami Heat Grade: A+ Round 1: Michael Beasley (2) Round 2: Mario Chalmers (34), Darnell Jackson (52) Analysis: I hate to break it to what looked like a very sober, perhaps disappointed Pat Riley, but the Heat won this draft. They walked away with arguably the best player in the draft and then got a second-round steal at point guard, a position at which Miami really needed help. Beasley has a chance to be a superstar. With him and Dwyane Wade, the Heat have a terrific future. On top of that, Miami got a player at No. 34 who I had ranked as a potential mid-first-round pick. Chalmers is perfect for Riley: He is tough, plays defense, can shoot the lights out and is a winner. Once the Heat find a way to trade Shawn Marion, they'll be in great shape to make a big run at a young free agent next summer. And according to John Hollinger's statistical formula, Jackson is one the biggest sleepers in the draft. 评价: A+ 我很不想谈论那个看起来严肃,有时候失望的 Pat Riley,但热火是这次选秀的赢家 他们拿到了选秀中最好的球员,而载第二轮偷到了一个控卫,一个热火急需的位置 Beasley 有成为超级巨星的机会. 有他和 Wade,热火的未来无可限量. 除此之外, 热火在 34 顺位还选到了我评估在首轮中段的球员. Chalmers 对 Riley 可说是完美: 他更强硬,能防守,能投篮,是个赢家. 只要热火找到交易 Shawn Marion 的方法,他们 就已经准备好在明年的自由市场大干一笔,竞逐年轻的自由球员 而根据 John Hollinger 的统计公式, Jackson 是本次选秀中最大的沉睡者之一 Milwaukee Bucks Grade: B Round 1: Joe Alexander (8) Round 2: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (37) Analysis: I loved the idea of Alexander in Milwaukee before the Bucks traded for Richard Jefferson. After they made the trade, drafting Alexander didn't get me as excited. The Bucks should've looked to shore up holes on their team. Alexander is a special talent with great upside, but if he's buried behind Jefferson, what's the point? I like Mbah a Moute as a Bruce Bowen-like defender -- but he's a small forward, too. Where are they all going to play? 评价: B 在公鹿交易来 RJ 之前,我很喜欢选来 Alexander 的主意. 但在交易之後,选来 Alexander 就让我兴趣缺缺. 公鹿早该想办法补上队上的洞. Alexander 有特别的天赋,身价大涨,但假如他被挤到 RJ 後面,那又有什麽用? 我喜欢 Mbah a Moute,一个像包叔的防守者,他也是个小前锋. 他们要在哪里打球? Minnesota Timberwolves Grade: A- Round 1: Kevin Love (5) Round 2: Nikola Pekovic (31) Analysis: For the first time in more than a decade, Minnesota's Kevin McHale is earning an A from me. He did a really nice job getting value for Mayo at No. 3 and putting together a young team that could win 35 to 40 games next year. Love won't be a superstar, but he's going to be solid. Pairing him in the front court with Al Jefferson makes the Wolves a little undersized, but they now have two excellent low-post scoring options. Besides Love, the key acquisition was Mike Miller. He immediately comes in to fill a huge hole (long-range shooting) for the Wolves. If Randy Foye is healthy and can play up to his potential, the Wolves have the makings of a nice team. There's hope in Minnesota for the first time in a while. I didn't think we would see that with McHale on the watch, but I was wrong. Pekovic can't come over for a few years, but he's also a low-post bruiser who has put up big numbers in Europe. 评价: A- 十年多来第一次, McHale 从我这儿拿到了个 A. 这回他真的干得不错,发挥了第三顺位 拿 Mayo 的价值,组成了一组年轻的阵容,明年可望拿下 35-40 胜 Love 不会是个超级巨星,但他会是个紮实的球员. 他和 Al Jefferson 搭配的前场 让灰狼的阵容有些矮小,但他们现在有两个优异的低位得分选择. 除了 Love,关键人物是 Mike Miller. 他马上补上了灰狼阵容中的大洞 (长射能力) 假使 Foye 健康而且能发挥出他的潜力,那麽灰狼看起来就像只很棒的队伍. 长久以来,明尼苏达终於露出了希望的曙光. 我曾以为 McHale 不可能办得到这种事, 但我错了. Pekovic 几年内不会来,但他也是个在欧洲混得不错的低位硬汉. New Jersey Nets Grade: A- Round 1: Brook Lopez (10), Ryan Anderson (21) Round 2: Chris Douglas-Roberts (39) Analysis: The Nets had a really big day. First they moved Richard Jefferson in a deal that brought them Yi Jianlian and something that might be more important: cap relief. As we know, LeBron James can become a free agent in 2010, and his friend Jay-Z, a Nets co-owner, will be preparing the welcome mat for King James. Then the team added a couple of other important assets on draft night. Lopez won't be great, but at No. 10 he's a value pick as a center who can score around the basket. Douglas-Roberts is much better than his draft position suggests -- he should've been a late first-rounder. I'm more skeptical about Anderson. Like Yi, he's a face-the-basket 4, so his selection seems redundant to me. Then again, I'm not sure at No. 21 there was anyone much better. 评价: A- 篮网真的度过了重大的一天. 首先他们交易了 RJ, 换来了易以及可能更重要的: 薪资空间. 如我们所知, LBJ 在 2010 年会跳脱成为自由球员,而他的好友Jay-Z,篮网的共有者,将准备迎接 King James 接着篮网添加了一些重要的资产. Lopez 不会是伟大球星,但在第 10 顺位他是个合理 的选择,一个能在篮框附近得分的中锋. CDR 远比他的选秀顺位来得好 -- 他应该是首 轮後段的. 我很怀疑 Anderson. 就像易,他是个面框的 4 号,所以选他就让我困惑了. 但,我不确定 在 21 顺位是不是还有更好的人选 New Orleans Hornets Grade: Inc. Round 1: None Round 2: None Analysis: The Hornets sold the No. 27 pick to the Blazers for $3 million. Given their needs, it was probably a good idea. The Hornets will probably try to make a run at a free agent like Ben Gordon this summer in an attempt to upgrade the 2 position. 评价: 无法评价 黄蜂把 27 顺位卖给拓荒者换来三百万现金. 考虑他们的需求,这也许是个不错的主意. 黄蜂今夏可能会想竞逐自由球员如 Ben Gordon,尝试升级两个位置. New York Knicks Grade: A- Round 1: Danilo Gallinari (6) Round 2: None Analysis: With the Knicks' three favorite backcourt players gone -- Derrick Rose, O.J. Mayo and Russell Westbrook -- new Knicks president Donnie Walsh did the right thing. Gallinari is a talent and one of the few guys in the draft who could really be special someday. Those who are bashing the pick because Gallinari is a project should do their homework. Gallinari was the team leader on an Italian Euroleague team -- and the Euroleague is much more competitive than the NCAA. Euroleague teams scrimmage NBA teams in the preseason and beat them from time to time. The fact that Gallinari has starred there at such a young age suggests that he's more ready than most of the freshmen rushing into the league. And with Mike D'Antoni coaching him, you can bet the Knicks will play to his strengths. Gallinari has weaknesses -- he has so-so lateral quickness and lacks muscle. I'm not sure he'll ever turn into Dirk Nowitzki, to whom he's been compared. And the Knicks still have a long way to go in the rebuilding process. But this was a good start for the Knicks. If they can use David Lee to get a legit young point guard, they'll keep moving in the right direction. 评价: A- 在三个尼克偏爱的後场球员: Rose, Mayo, Westbrook 中,新任老总 Donnie Walsh 做了正确的选择. Gallinari 是个天才,本届选秀中少数有一天能变得特出的人之一.那些批评Gallinari 的人应该回去做功课. Gallinari 是一支义大利欧洲联盟球队的队长,而欧洲联盟远比 NCAA 要竞争多了. 欧洲联盟球队在季前赛和 NBA 混战而且数度击败他们. Gallinari 在如此年轻的年纪就在那儿发光发热,说明了他比大多数急着进入联盟的大一新鲜人都 还要成熟.而且有 Mike D'Antoni 指导他,你可以赌尼克能发挥出他的长处. Gallinari 也有弱点: 他的横向移动普通,缺乏肌肉. 我不确定他是不是会变成 Dirk Nowitzki, 如他过去的比较模板. 而尼克在重建路上还有好一段要走. 但这对尼克而言是个好的开始,如果他们能用 David Lee 换来个好的年轻控卫,他们 就是在往正确的方向上移动. Orlando Magic Grade: B- Round 1: Courtney Lee (22) Round 2: None Analysis: Lee was a "need" pick and a solid one. He can score a variety of ways, and the Magic needed a 2. But he wasn't the best player on the board. Darrell Arthur, for instance, would have been a better pick. I'm not down on Lee, but he's not a guy who can put them over the top. 评价: B- Lee 是个选"位置"的选秀,也是个紮实的球员. 他能用多种方式得分,而魔术也需要个 2号 但他并不是该顺位上最好的球员,比方说 Darrell Arthur,会是个更好的选择 我不是要批评 Lee,但他不会是将魔术推上顶点的球员 Philadelphia 76ers Grade: A- Round 1: Marreese Speights (16) Round 2: None Analysis: Speights is a really nice pick for the 76ers. While I had him rated slightly behind Darrell Arthur, Speights might be a better fit for Philly. He's the kind of low-post bruiser and rebounder they need. And he's much more skilled than people realize. If he stays in shape and works hard, he could end up being like Sixers forward Thaddeus Young, one of the steals of last year's draft. 评价: A- Speights 对76人是个很棒的选秀.我对他的评价稍逊於 Arthur,但他可能更适合76人. 他是个76人需要的低位硬汉和篮板手.而他也比人们以为的更有技巧.假如他能维持体型 并且努力,他可以变得像76人的前锋 Thaddeus Young,去年选秀上的一偷 Phoenix Suns Grade: B Round 1: Robin Lopez (15) Round 2: Malik Hairston (48) Analysis: First the good news: The Suns didn't sell or trade their first-round pick for a change. Their scouts must have been high-fiving when this pick went down. Can you imagine traveling all over the world for a year to scout players and then having your team take a pass year after year? When the moment of truth came, Phoenix took the guy who might have been the best player available. Lopez could become an Anderson Varejao-type defensive presence. Hairston is a nice pick at No. 48. He's solid at just about everything; he could make the team as a defender and spot-up shooter. 评价: B 首先是好消息: 太阳这次没有卖掉他们的首轮选秀. 他们的球探想必击掌庆祝过了. 你能想像一年到头跑遍全世界去探勘球员,而你的球队却喊每年都喊 pass 的情况吗? 当这个时刻真的来临,太阳选择了他们能选到的最佳球员. Lopez 可以像是 Anderson Varejao 型的防守球员. Hairston 在 48 顺位是个不错的选择. 他在各方面都很紮实; 他可以担任这只球队 的防守者和定点射手. Portland Trail Blazers Grade: A- Round 1: Jerryd Bayless (11), Nicolas Batum (25) Round 2: None Analysis: For the third straight year, the Blazers walk away with an A in the draft. Portland GM Kevin Pritchard continues to be the most daring, creative and active GM in the league. If I were to use a draft term to describe him, I'd say he's got an amazing motor. The Blazers had a prearranged deal with the Pacers to move up to No. 11 if D.J. Augustin or Bayless were on the board. After the draft, Pritchard told me they had Bayless ranked fourth on their board -- so that's great value at No. 11. As part of the trade, they also picked up Ike Diogu, an undervalued big man who has been injured a lot. Pritchard also bought the No. 27 pick from the Hornets and traded up late in the first round to get another player he wanted, Nicolas Batum. In the second round, Pritchard turned three second-round picks into four future picks. That works because, given the roster crunch of the Blazers, they just didn't have any room for more players now. Bayless is an upgrade over the guy the Blazers lost in the trade, Jarrett Jack. Bayless is a better athlete and a much better shooter. If he develops his point guard skills, he could be a Chauncey Billups-type of point guard. I'm not as high on Batum. The guy Pritchard traded away, Darrell Arthur, will probably be a much better NBA player. But some scouts believe Batum has great upside, and the Blazers felt he was worth the risk. 评价: A- 连续第三年,拓荒者拿到了 A 级评价.拓荒者 GM Kevin Pritchard 依然是联盟中最敢, 最有创意和最积极的 GM. 如果要我用选秀词汇来评论他的话,我会说他是部惊人的马达 拓荒者和溜马有事先谈好的交易: 向上交易 #11,如果 DJ Augustin 或 Bayless 到时 还在的话. 选秀之後, Pritchard 告诉我他们把 Bayless 排名第四,所以能用 #11 选到 真是太划算了.而作为交易的一部分,他们还拿到了 Ike Diogu,一个被低估,常受伤的 长人 Pritchard 还从黄蜂买来了 #27,接着换来另个首轮,选了他想要的球员,Nicolas Batum 在第二轮,Pritchard 把三个第二轮换成了四个未来的选秀权. 这样做很好,因为拓荒者 现在的阵容已经没有更多空间给年轻球员了 Bayless 是个拓荒者交易中失去的球员 Jarett Jack 的全面升级版. Bayless 的运动力 更好,也是个更好的射手.如果他能发展出控卫的技术,他可以变成 Chaucey Billup 型的 控卫 我对 Batum 的评价不高. Pritchard 交易掉的那个球员, Darrell Arthur,可能是个更 好的 NBA 球员.但有些球探相信 Batum 有很大进步空间,而拓荒者觉得值得一赌 Sacramento Kings Grade: C- Round 1: Jason Thompson (12) Round 2: Sean Singletary (42), Patrick Ewing Jr. (43) Analysis: A team should not be criticized just for doing the unexpected. But the Kings made a huge reach for Thompson at No. 12. He's going to be a solid rotation player at best. But it looks like he might be the Shelden Williams of this draft. With solid players like Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers and upside guys like Anthony Randolph and Marreese Speights on the board, I think the Kings blew it. Singletary could be a nice second-round pick. But I have a hard time believing Ewing has a spot in the league. 评价: C- 一支球队不该只因为做了预期外的事而被批评.但国王在 12 顺位选 Thompson 也出手 太早了.他最好的情况可以变成个紮实的绿叶球员,但看他可能变成这次选秀的 Shelden Williams. 当紮实的球员像 Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur,和 Mario Chalmes 以及身价上涨的 像 Anthony Randolph, Marreese Speights 都还可选的时候,我认为国王搞砸了 Singletary 可能是个不错的二轮选秀. 但我不太相信 Ewing 能在联盟中存活. San Antonio Spurs Grade: C Round 1: George Hill (26) Round 2: Goran Dragic (42), James Gist (57) Analysis: The Spurs are one of the best-drafting teams in the league, so I'm wary of criticizing them. But sometimes a team can be too clever for its own good. Hill is a nice player, but I don't believe he's a better point guard than Mario Chalmers. I do like Dragic at No. 42 as a guy who could eventually find his way here to play an important role on a team. Gist is a great athlete, but I'm not sure he's got what it takes to stick. 评价: C 马刺是联盟中最会选秀的球队,所以我在批评他们的时候很小心翼翼.但有时候球队太过 自作聪明了. Hill 是个好球员,但我不认为他是个比 Mario Chalmers 更好的控卫 我很喜欢 42 顺位的 Dragic,能找到他在球队中的重要角色.Gist有很好的运动力,但我 不确定他能好好运用它. Seattle SuperSonics Grade: A- Round 1: Russell Westbrook (4), Serge Ibaka (24), D.J. White (29) Round 2: DeVon Hardin (50), Sasha Kaun (56) Analysis: A lot of people seem shocked the Sonics went with Westbrook this high, but I'm not. His combination of length, athleticism, motor and defensive toughness makes him an ideal fit with Kevin Durant. Westbrook needs to improve offensively, but at worst he is a defensive stopper. And he could become one of the best point guards in the league down the road. I had him rated as the fourth-best prospect in the draft, right behind Rose, Beasley and Mayo. Ibaka is a great keeper pick for later. He's got amazing athleticism, but they're going to have to be very patient. White also was underrated. He's an excellent rebounder with toughness. Hardin also has a chance to make it as a defensive specialist. Clearly the Sonics are thinking about ways to surround Durant with defenders. 评价: A- 好一部分人听到超音速这麽高就选了 Westbrook 吓了一跳,但我没有.他综合了身材 运动力,机动性和防守硬度,这让他成为 Kevin Durant 的完美搭档.Westbrook 需要 加强进攻,但再差他也会是个防守大锁.而他照这样下去有可能变成联盟中的顶级控卫 之一.我把他评在 Rose, Beasley, Mayo 後本届第四强的新秀 接下来捡 Ibaka 捡得很好.他有惊人的体能,但他们得有相当高的耐心去培养. White 也被低估,他是个杰出的篮板手,够硬. Hardin 也有机会变成防守专家. 很明显超音速是用一群防守者围绕着 Durant 来建队. Toronto Raptors Grade: B Round 1: None Round 2: Nathan Jawai (41) Analysis: The Raptors traded away their first-round pick in the Jermaine O'Neal trade and got back a second-round pick. Jawai's strength and width are a good fit on a Toronto team that's trying to fill some holes in the middle. 评价: B 暴龙在小欧的交易中送走了首轮而换来了二轮选秀. Jawai 的强壮和宽度会是一直尝试 弥补中距离漏洞的暴龙队不错的搭配. Utah Jazz Grade: A- Round 1: Kosta Koufos (23) Round 2: Ante Tomic (44), Tadija Dragicevic (53) Analysis: The Jazz wanted to add some size, and they did. Koufos is a steal here -- he's a little like the second coming of Mehmet Okur, a big guy who likes to face the basket but who can mix it up inside. He was up and down as a freshman, but the talent is there. Tomic reminds me of a young Pau Gasol. He's very skilled, but he lacks the strength to play in the post. He'll stay in Croatia the next two years, but down the road he could really be a prospect. Dragicevic was the Adriatic League MVP -- and Utah GM Kevin O'Connor called me after the draft to rib me about not knowing that when I did my instant analysis. But as I told Bill Simmons in our debate, I'm trying to swear off the Euros. 评价: A- 爵士想要增加大个子,而他们也做到了.Koufos 是一偷,他有点 Mehmet Okur 再现, 一个喜欢面框的大个儿,也能在内线搅和.他大一的表现起伏不定,但天份摆在那儿. Tomic 让我想起了年轻的 Pau Gasol. 他很有技巧,但要打低位不够强壮.未来两年 他会待在克罗埃西亚,但最後还是有可能会来. Dragicevic 是亚得里亚联盟 MVP --而犹他 GM Kevin O'Connor 在选秀会完打电话 给我,取笑我在做分析的时候还不知道这档事,但就像我和 Bill Simmons 辩论时所说的 我正努力戒掉欧洲. Washington Wizards Grade: C+ Round 1: JaVale McGee (18) Round 2: None Analysis: McGee has upside -- kind of like Andray Blatche does. McGee made a big mistake coming out early, and I doubt he'll ever turn all that upside into a real NBA game. 评价: C+ McGee 身价上扬 --就像 Andray Blatche 一样. McGee 犯了个大错,他投入选秀太早 而我很怀疑他能否把他的身价转换为真正的 NBA 球赛.
