30Q: Will Hassan Whiteside Contribute at the NBA Level? 30Q：白边能在NBA层级有立即贡献吗？ http://0rz.tw/dfg3u We're asking 30 questions about the Kings' 2010-11 season. Hassan Whiteside has spent his summer toughening up, and you have to believe he thinks he'll deserve playing time come Oct. 27. The problem, of course, is how packed to the brim the new Kings frontcourt has become, and where Whiteside stands in the pecking order. He's a clear fifth behind veteran Samuel Dalembert and Carl Landry and youngsters Jason Thompson and DeMarcus Cousins. And there really are only so many minutes to pass around, especially if the team hopes to be competitive (which will mean relying on the best producers as much as conditions allow). Last year, Whiteside would have been (ahem) manna from Heaven: a defensive-minded center with condor arms and a swooping gait, a kid who legitmately seems to desire work. But the acquisition of Dalembert and pick of Cousins completely overshadows S.W.A.T., to the point where we almost always talk about him in the future tense, not the present. Is that right? Can Whiteside potentially contribute this season, and at the NBA level (not the D-League)? 又到了30问的时间。 白边花了整个暑假苦练，他认为自己10月27日开季时能在轮替阵容 有一席之地。 当然关键就在於球队新的前场阵容将如何调配，而白边在其中又能 排到第几顺位。无庸置疑白边现在是第五顺位，排在Sammy、蓝锥、 小汤和表弟之後，然而僧多粥少，球队在新赛季打算全力冲刺战绩 的情况下﹝意味着贡献最多的球员优先﹞，白边能分得多少时间并 不乐观。 如果是去年，白边会大受重用，他是个一个以防守为重，拥有绝佳 翼展和迅速的补防脚步的中锋。这孩子渴望能够贡献自己的力量， 但换来Sammy和选了表弟把白边的空间卡死，所以我们谈到白边总是 在描绘他的未来，而非期待他的立即贡献。 At some point, whether through trade or injury, Whiteside will get an extended look. It might be November, it might be January, it might be April. But he will get a look. It's almost up to chance as to whether that will come sooner or later. When it does, though, we can expect Whiteside will be looking block shots, hit the glass, and finish at the rim. I think he'll have varying levels of success in those categories. He can certainly block shots, but the size and competition level are so different from what he's used to. He wasn't a world-beater on the glass even at Marshall, and his touch at the rim is a huge question mark. Is the defense enough? Will it be good enough for Paul Westphal to be forced to carve out a regular spot, or will Hassan have to wait another year or two to break into the core rotation? This is a question only this season to come can answer. 不过一旦球队出现交易或有人受伤，白边就有机会，也许是季初， 也许要等到季中，也有可能会迟至季末，但机会对他而言只是时间 问题，当白边获得机会，我们可以期待他的火锅，他的篮板，他在 篮下的得分能力。我想他在这些项目都能绽放不同程度的光芒。 ﹝他的封盖能力强，但体型和竞争强度仍有疑虑；而篮板在大学时 也不算出类拔萃；篮下的得分能力也被打上问号。﹞ 至於他的防守够格吗？他的防守能在西法的轮替名单上挣得一席之 地吗？抑或他得等待来年呢？这个问题只能等到开季才能揭晓了。 --
