Kentucky center Willie Cauley-Stein is one of the best defensive prospects to come into the NBA Draft in a long, long time. 先忽略他的进攻吧。肯大中锋WCS是NBA选秀长久以来最好的潜力防守球员之一 Wllie Cauley-Stein is the king of the jungle for the ferocious Kentucky Wildcats because he has the speed to chase down fleeing prey and the size and length to devour them once they're within his grasp. It looked like National Geographic when Cauley-Stein corralled Jerian Grant into a corner and forced the doomed gazelle into a desperate game-winning attempt. The shot missed and the Wildcats remained undefeated. WCS是拥有凶猛实力的肯塔基野猫队中的丛林之王，因为他有速度能够追捕那些逃走的猎 物，又有优秀的体型，当猎物在控制范围时一下就能把他们吃乾抹净。 当WCS将Jerian Grant(今年NBA巫师选秀球员)驱赶到底角并迫使他投出孤注一掷的致胜球 的时候就像在看国家地理频道中那些命数已尽的瞪羚一样。球没进，肯大继续保持不败。 影片联结:http://streamable.com/4hlv?t=7.8 It was an extraordinary play, but those who have watched Kentucky at all this season shouldn't have been shocked. At 7'0 with a 7'2 wingspan, Cauley-Stein's basic measurements are impressive. But the numbers he logged this past year at the Kentucky Combine put him in unique territory. 这是很惊人的一个play，但是那些看过整季肯大比赛的可不会被吓到。 7尺的身高以及7尺二寸的臂展，WCS的身材条件是令人印象深刻的。但他过去这一年在肯 大创下的数据将他推向另一个境界。 http://i.imgur.com/Y2cqznr.png No big man has ever recorded a quicker time in the lane agility drill, which assesses body control and change of direction ability. And with a 147-inch maximum vertical reach, few bigs even come close to Cauley-Stein's length. But Cauley-Stein athleticism doesn't only shine in his practice shorts. John Calipari has used his bouncy big man as a defensive stopper by having him harass the opponent's best player, regardless of their position. The 21-year-old has the lateral quickness to defend at least three positions in the NBA, though he can defend all five in college while wearing a blindfold. Big men should not be able to stay with NBA-quality guards like Grant. 从来没有长人在lane agility*(注1)训练中作出这麽快的纪录，一个需要控制身体平衡 与变向的能力的训练。接着147寸的最高垂直摸高，甚至也只有少数的长人能够接近这数字。 不过WCS的运动能力可不是只有在练习时才杰出而已。肯大教练John Calipari将他这位活 力十足的大个子当成防守悍将去不断骚扰对手最好的球员，不管是哪个位置。这位21岁的 球员拥有快速的横向移动能力让他在NBA至少能够守三个位置，虽然他在大学是随便1~5号 都能守。没有长人能够黏着像Grant这种NBA等级的後卫。 注1:训练如影片所示:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzgxaNCaxXU http://streamable.com/nhf0?t=2.3 "I don't think many (players could've blocked that shot). I barely got it. Anthony Davis could've gotten it," Cauley-Stein said when asked about that block. "The step-back is probably one of the fastest step-backs I've guarded. (Grant's) good at it. He knows how to set you up just to get you just enough space. I'm fortunate I even got my fingertips on it." Cauley-Stein almost got beat, but he morphed into a pogo stick and leaped into the shot's trajectory using his wingspan. It's unfathomable that Cauley-Stein got there and it could go down as the biggest play of his collegiate career ... at least until he does something equally as spectacular in the Final Four. It's not out of the question for Cauley-Stein to actually defend all five positions in the NBA. Consider his measurements: 我想没有很多人可以盖到这一球。我想几乎没有吧。AD或许可以。当WCS被问到这火锅回 答:”这个後撤步也许是我所守过的後撤步最快的一个。Grant很擅长後撤步。他知道怎麽 从你身上取得足以吃掉你的空间。我很幸运我只不过是稍微用指尖碰到这球而已。” WCS几乎抓到节奏了，但他就像踩着有弹簧的高跷似的跳向那投篮的抛物线并且试图用他 的臂展干扰。WCS这球实在令人觉得深不可测而且也许是他大学篮球生涯中最重要的一个 play…至少在他在Final Four作出类似壮举前都是。(这场是elite-8) WCS在NBA要能守到1~5号并非是不可能的。看看下列他的体测成绩吧 http://i.imgur.com/ONKHAtD.png Very few players are as fast and laterally-quick as Cauley-Stein, much less big men. Only seven players have lane agility and sprint scores that combine for fewer seconds than him, and none of them measure over 6'4. As more NBA teams switch pick and rolls and off-ball screens, many head coaches will feel comfortable allowing Cauley-Stein to defend the perimeter. Most big men get exposed if they're away from the paint. Cauley-Stein won't be, offering his NBA team unique versatility. 非常少球员速度跟横向移动能跟WCS一样快，更不用说那些长人了。只有七个球员在 lane agility跟3/4场冲刺加起来的秒数少过WCS，而那些人没有人超过6尺4寸。 当越来越多NBA球队执行P&R还有无球挡人换防时，很多教头一定会感到乐意让WCS去守到 或压迫外围的那个持球者。大多数长人离开禁区就会曝露他们移动过慢的缺点。但WCS不 会，并提供选他的NBA球队多功能的用途。 We've talked about his lateral quickness, but he can protect the rim too. If a team rotation is missed, he's swift enough to get to the other side of the court and long enough to block or at least deter the play. And he has even matured to the point where he resists the natural urge of a young shot blocker to leave his feet and commit fouls. These defensive attributes will all translate to the next level. While it's true Cauley-Stein can't score in the low post or facilitate offense like his contemporaries, those draft prospects don't have near his ability on the defensive end. Scoring is sexy, but defense is also a necessity and Cauley-Stein brings that at the highest of levels. Staying three years at Kentucky has allowed Cauley-Stein to become an intelligent and athletic rim protector that can also stay with guards. The lottery team that is fortunate enough to draft him will have a Defensive Player of the Year candidate for many years to come. 我们刚都在谈论他的横向移动能力，但他也能够保护篮框。如果球队防守出现漏洞时，他 能够迅速跑到场上的另一端并补上漏洞也够高能打火锅或至少能逼退一下对方的进攻。而 他甚至成熟到避免像那些年轻的阻攻好手一样不被骗起来要犯规，避免这个很正常的冲动 。这些防守特质都将会转换到下一个层级的比赛的。 WCS没办法在低位单打得分也没办法像他队友让进攻变的更容易是事实，但那些选秀潜力 新人也没有一个在防守端接近他的能耐的。会得分很诱人，但是防守同样是个必需品而 WCS能带给你最高层级的防守。 待在肯大的这三年让WCS成为一个有智慧、有活力的篮框守护者并且也可以守到後卫群们 。拥有乐透签的球队如果有幸能选到他将会有个很多年都能竞争年度最佳防守球员的选手 心得:1.翻得不好有错请指正 2.希望国王今年能给球迷不错的夏天补强跟球季 3.WCS加油，很看好你。 --
