http://0rz.tw/ZcRbo Many draft pundits don't list an international player worthy of being selected in this year's top six, where the Kings are guaranteed to pick based on finishing with the third-worst record in the NBA. 许多选秀专家都不认为国际球员值得在今年的头六顺位被选。 But Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie was still compelled to leave Friday for Europe and spend at least eight days evaluating talent. 但Petrie还是到欧洲去了，至少会花八天。 Last year's trip was about gathering information on top-10 picks Ricky Rubio and Brandon Jennings, among others. 去年是去看Rubio和建宁和其他球员。 The Kings passed on Rubio, the flashy Spanish point guard, in favor of Tyreke Evans with the fourth pick. Petrie didn't get to see much of Jennings, who fell to 10th after playing sparingly for his Italian team. 国王最後跳过Rubio选了reke。 Petrie said there are still plenty of reasons to spend time overseas. He'll attend the Euroleague Final Four from Friday through next Sunday in Paris. Playing in the Final Four is FC Barcelona, which includes Rubio and Xavier Rabaseda, who has entered his name into the draft. Petrie说仍然有很多原因去花时间在海外。他仍然会去看欧洲联盟最後四强。现在在打四 强的是巴塞，里面有Rubio和Xavier已经有参加选秀。 Petrie said he plans to go to a game and practice in Treviso, Italy, and would figure out other venues to attend. Petrie说他计划去看比赛和练习，还会出席别的场合。 Kings international scout Andrea Gracis provides Petrie with reports on prospects throughout the season and gives Petrie tips on players to watch. 国王国际球探Andrea Gracis提供Petrie整季的报告，给Petrie观察球员的提示。 "It's really about keeping your information on players as current as possible," Petrie said last week. 「这真的是要尽量保持球员的资料是最新的」Petrie说 Even if he doesn't draft any of the players he scouts, Petrie is trying to determine if someone may fit in with the Kings down the road. 就算他没有选任何他探查过的球员，Petrie还是在试着去决定是否有球员适合国王。 The Kings followed Omri Casspi for a couple of years after seeing him play in Europe before drafting him with the 23rd pick last year. The Kings also had success in the past with Peja Stojakovic and Hedo Turkoglu. 国王在去年选omri之前已经跟了他几年。之前国王也很成功地选了Peja和火枪兵。 There are 23 international players who have put their names into the draft. While United States college players have until May 8 to pull out of the draft, international players have until June 14. 有23名国际球员参加选秀。美国大学球员可以在5/8退出选秀，国际球员则是6/14 Petrie didn't rule out bringing over international players next month for workouts. Petrie不排除下个月带国际球员来测试。 He doesn't expect to find a gem the other 29 NBA teams have missed. 他不预期可以找到别人不知道的千古奇才。 "I don't think there are any players that nobody 'knows' about," Petrie said. "Some teams may know a little more than others, but I don't think there's any name or people playing that aren't fairly universally known." 「我不认为有球员是别人不知道的，也许有些球队知道的比别队多，但我不认为有名字或 球员是完全没人知道的」Petrie说 The trip could also be the first step in trades. The Kings will have $20 million in salary cap space before signing draft picks. 这趟旅行也许也是交易的第一步。国王在签下今年选秀之前还有20m的空间。 If the Kings don't want to spend much money in free agency, Petrie might be able to swing a deal for a player whose draft rights are owned by another team. 如果国王不想要花大笔钞票在FA，Petrie也许能够交易来选秀权利还在别队身上的球员 (RXBXO?) "There are players that have been previously drafted that haven't come to the NBA, and you get a chance to replenish your data bank a little bit," he said. 「有些球员之前已经被选而没来的，现在有机会可以重新补充资料库」 If not a trade, the Kings would have the ability to sign a player at a reasonable price without adding much age to their team. 假设没交易，国王也有能力签一名合理价格也不会太老的球员 "There's always the potential for the 24-, 25-, 26-year-old European player that didn't get drafted but has gotten better and are potential free-agent players," Petrie said. "It's always an interesting trip." 「有很多24、25、26岁有潜力的欧洲球员之前没有被选，但已经变得更好，也是个潜在的 FA，这会是趟有趣的旅途」 The level of athleticism in Europe isn't as high as it is in the NBA, but the style of play isn't much different, Petrie said. 欧洲的运动层级并不如nba来的高，但打球的风格并没有太大的差异，Petrie说。 Centers are utilized a little more in Europe, he said. But just like the NBA, teams overseas are running high pick-and-rolls, driving to the basket and kicking the ball out for open three-pointers. 在欧洲中锋的功用稍微多一些。但跟NBA一样，海外的球队会执行高PNR，然後切入再往外 传之後投三分。 "It's taken over the world," Petrie said. "In general, a lot of the Europeans' composite skill sets are more complete because the system's a little different over there. 「放诸四海皆准，通常有很多欧洲球员的技巧更完整，因为系统有些不一样。」 "But a lot of structure of the game is very similar." 「但许多比赛的架构是很类似的」 -- --
