一篇SBNATION的文章， 讲述一位球迷对於选後几日的心情， 虽然有些论点不见得成立， 但也指出了几个可能选Bagley的重点。 第一次翻译，翻得不好请多指教。 https://goo.gl/MjX9XQ Marvin Bagley III: The Pick I Didn’t Know I Wanted -- Richard Ivanowski Draft day for NBA lottery teams can often feel like Christmas in June. So after hearing Marvin Bagley III’s name announced on Thursday, and witnessing the reaction from the fan base, I can’t help but let the same image come to my mind over and over. I see us as children that had been waiting all year, could barely sleep the night before, rushed down the stairs the morning of, tore open our gift, and found it wasn’t exactly what we had hoped for. 在NBA选秀日就像六月里的圣诞夜一样。当在礼拜四晚上听到MB3的名字出线之後，我脑中 不断浮现着这样的画面：我们就像一群小孩子，已经等待了整整一年，在前一天晚上兴奋 到几乎睡不着，但圣诞节那天早上迫不期待地打开礼物後，发现那好像不是我们想要的。 It’s a harsh metaphor, and one that comes at the risk of infantilizing Sacramento Kings fans everywhere, but it feels right to me. All sports fans are little kids at heart, and emotional ones at that. We can’t help but react in ways that defy logic and reason. Have you ever kicked and screamed while watching a game? Yelled and cursed and thrown things like a toddler having a tantrum? Yeah, me too. 用一个不堪的比喻来形容，选秀这件事让国王迷们都变成了小孩子，但对我来说的确感觉 如此。所有的运动粉丝们心中应该都住着个小孩，而有时情绪也像小孩一样。有时候我们 就是不能理性地来思考，你曾有在看一场比赛时又叫又跳或是大发脾气吗？是的，我也是 So here we are, with a brand new toy. It’s top of the line, but many of us had hoped for a different brand. The mixture of simultaneous excitement and disappointment is not like anything I’ve felt in years. And as much as we may want to, we can’t run away from home. This is our family. The Kings are in our blood. 现在我们有了一个新礼物。他属於最顶级的那一种，但我们之中许多人希望拿到的是另一 个牌子的礼物。这种失望，却又隐隐带着兴奋的感觉，是我在前几年内未曾感受到的。尽 管我们想要的可能是别人家的东西，但我们不可能离开。这里还是我们的家，我们血液中 还是流着只队伍的灵魂。 Thankfully as adults we have the ability to reassess and change our perspective, if we see fit. Now that I’ve had a couple days to breathe, I think I’m ready to embrace the gift we did get. After revisiting many of my pre-draft thoughts I’ve decided to take a shot at explaining why I believe Bagley could end up being what I really wanted all along, even if I couldn’t see it before 理性点回来看这次选秀，或许对未来会有不一样的想法。现在我们有几天可以喘息，我想 我已经准备好去拥抱我们拿到的礼物。在改变了许多我在选秀前的想法後，我决定说明一 下为什麽我相信Bagley最终应该是我们所要得，尽管我之前不是这麽想。 Roster Composition 球队的组成 In my mind, the biggest advantage that Bagley had over Doncic was something I picked out early and never wavered from. That is a complete lack of redundancy on this roster. It goes without saying that the Kings have starter-level talent in place at the guard positions. Small forward is where it gets murky 我认为Bagley相对於Doncic最大的优势在於，他对於我们目前轮替来说完全不是多余的。 不用说我们目前在於在控卫有着先发等级的天赋，而小前锋上面则是一团糟。 Some might say that we have no option there, but I disagree. Justin Jackson was drafted to play the position just one year ago, right at the fringe of the lottery. While he did not have a great rookie year, he does have potential to improve and can at least assume some of those minutes in the upcoming year. 有些可能会认为我们在SF这方面没有选择，但我不同意。Justin Jackson在乐透区边缘一 年前被选来打这个位子，虽然他在新人这一年的表现不算太出色，但我们看到他还有潜力 在下一季里进步。 Not to mention that our biggest rookie standout, and possibly best player on the team, was categorized as a small forward by Basketball Reference last year. The site estimated that Bogdan Bogdanovic played 59% of his minutes at the 3. Additionally, we got solid bench play from Garrett Temple who was estimated as a small forward 46% of the time 我们新人里表现最为出色的，也可能是我们队中最佳球员，BB8，在过去一年内被 Basketball Reference归类为小前锋，且估计他上场时间中有59%是打这个位置。而且在 这个位置上我们还有一个不错的板凳球员，Temple在这个位置上也打了46%的时间。 So is small forward a position of need for the Kings? In some ways, yes. Is the need there higher than at power forward? Absolutely not 所以我们在SF上面真的很缺吗？或许是，但这个缺比起PF缺来说算很大吗？我不这样认为 。 Here is a comprehensive list of Kings who played at least one-third of their minutes at power forward: Zach Randolph, Skal Labissiere, JaKarr Sampson, Nigel Hayes, and Bruno Caboclo. One of those players is turning 37 next month, another has trade rumors swirling around him, and the remaining three combined for merely 549 minutes on the court last season. None of those three are widely expected to be on the opening day roster 队员中在PF打超过三分之一时间以上的有Randolph，蜡笔，Sampson，Hayes，Caboclo。 Randolph在37个月後可能不在了，而蜡笔始终被交易传言缠身，而剩下三个过去一季加起 来只打了549分钟，这三个人看起来都不像是会留在开幕战轮替中的球员。 On a team that will be heavy with expiring contracts next season, it’s important to understand who has the multi-year deals. Looking down the line, the players currently under contract for 2019-20 now have the following positional classifications: Two point guards, one shooting guard, two small forwards, and one big man who has yet to step on the court in Harry Giles. More on him in a minute 更重要的是了解我们下一季有许多到期约。到19-20球季时，目前我们有约的有两个PG， 一个SG，两个SF，而禁区的大个子只有一个人有约，那个人是还未上场比赛过的Giles。 Locker Room Favor 队友们的偏好 The other notable advantage that I found pre-draft in Bagley’s favor was how quickly the current core of players seemed to gel with him, and how willing he was to visit with Sacramento. 另一个Bagley重要的优势，是我发现在选秀前他已经跟我们目前的核心队员们相处融洽， 而且希望他来沙加缅度。 He was the only top-five prospect to come to town and workout for the Kings. There was a late look at Wendell Carter Jr., but other than that it was mostly second round projections that were willing to make their case in person. 他是唯一一个在可能前五顺位中有来我王测试的，当然後来Wendell Carter有来，但 Bagley还是可能第二顺位人选中唯一一个有意愿来测是的。 Bagley started popping up everywhere in the Kings social media landscape. Giles featured him in an Instagram story and mentioned their meeting in a tweet as early as June 10th. And this was not run-of-the-mill, nice-to-meet-you, just-doing-my-job type of stuff. They were just kicking it downtown. None of it seemed forced. They were excited. Bagley开始在国王社群媒体中一再出现。Giles在一则IG故事里面提到他，且在推特里面 提到他们在六月十号的聚会。这个不是仅仅是say hello问候这样，他们的确是玩在一起 ，他们很对聚会很兴奋，这不是强迫的。 De’Aaron Fox also met up with them. And while his social media references toward Bagley were a bit more cryptic, it seems clear that MB3 was who he was lobbying for as well. The three just recently had a killer photo-op that has been featured on every Kings outlet known to man. Fox也有跟他们一起聚会。虽然在Fox的社群媒体里面关於Bagley的部份比较不明显，但还 是可以清楚的发现他是在游说Bagley加入。这三人的合体照差不多在每个熟知国王队的人 中流传着。 And who could blame Fox for wanting him? Fox’s best role is as lead ball handler, and the Kings have a fantastic secondary one in Bogdanovic to boot. And while Bogi may speak Luka’s native language, the same can’t be said for the rest of the roster. 你怎麽能怪Fox希望Bagley的到来？Fox扮演的角色是队上控球的第一选择，而同时我们还 有一个很棒的控球第二选择BB8。而你知道BB8跟Doncic说同一种母语，是队上其他人不会 的。 Even Bogi would be justified to have mixed feelings toward Luka. Would you want a younger, bigger version of yourself to walk into your office tomorrow with the potential to do everything you do, if not more? Well he doesn’t appear too upset that Doncic wasn’t picked. He’s currently cruising around Belgrade with Buddy Hield, recording freestyle rap cyphers on Instagram. 即使是BB8也对於Doncic可能有种复杂的感觉。想像有一个跟你很像，但比你年轻，比你 强壮的同事新加入你的办公室，而他可能会做所有你会做的事情，还可以比你做的更多。 我想他可能不会对於Doncic没有想上而感到不开心，BB8目前跟Buddy正在塞尔维亚首都白 城上面游船，忙着发IG跟唱着他们的饶舌歌。 Again it comes down to practicality. Luka never publicly showed any interest in being a King. It’s even possible that behind closed doors he was agitating to land in a big market. His final destination of Dallas at least suggests that possibility. In contrast, what was Bagley’s response on June 11th when asked by the press for his feelings toward Sacramento? “I love it.” 特别是Doncic从未公开表示他对国王有任何兴趣。他可能私下还是比较喜欢大市场城市 ，这点我们可以从他最後落点达拉斯可以猜测出来。相对的，6月11日，在Bagley被问及 对沙加缅度的感觉时，他是怎麽回应的？ “我爱这个城市” Coming to Grips with the Choice I understand the argument for Doncic. In fact, I argued the argument for Doncic. But I also did my best to see the other side as well. 我了解那些想选择Doncic的原因，事实上我也曾为Doncic所争辩。但我也同时尽力地看向 另外一面。 Best player available – that’s the only thing that should matter in many people’s minds. And while Luka may have the advantage there, it’s just not the only thing that’s important to me. 选择你能选的最好球员 – 这是大多数人的想法。当然Doncic在这方面有所优势，但在此 这对我来说并不是唯一一个需要关注的事情。 Players have gained more control over their environments than ever. The biggest stars in the league basically get whatever they want now. Just look at what happened with Jimmy Butler and Paul George last year, or what is happening with Kawhi right now. The Spurs have been one of the best franchises in sporting history, and even they look like they’re about to be bent or broken by the whims of a single player. 球员们现在决定整个局面的能力比起过往要大的很多。联盟里的明星球员基本上想要什麽 就可以得到什麽。看看过去这些年在Jimmy Butler，Paul George发生的事情，以及目前 正在上演的可爱人生。马刺团队曾经是NBA职业运动史上的一个传奇 ，但现在你可以看到 他们怎样被一个球员耍得团团转。 The truth for the Kings is that they are even more susceptible to being crushed by one set of wandering eyes than the average organization. And upsetting the majority of their current core could be downright devastating. In that way Bagley was a safe pick. And in a city that can’t easily replace their talent, he was a smart pick. 事实上，国王在选前几乎是要被球迷的期盼给淹没，而几乎要把他们目前的真正核心给毁 灭掉。这样说来的确Bagley是个安全的选择。而就他有着无与伦比的天赋来看，这选择同 时也是个聪明的选择。 Simply targeting the best player, regardless of fit or position, is a fine strategy for an average to above-average team in an average to above-average sized market. But ignoring other factors means ignoring part of what defines the Sacramento Kings, for better or worse. 选最好的球员而不管他的位置，对於一般或一般以上的大城市球队是很好的选择。但考虑 到国王的目前成绩以及市场，这可能就见仁见智了。 In a vacuum, I still believe Doncic is more likely to become a superstar. But more than a superstar, I want long-term, cohesive, team basketball. The surest way to get future draft picks and free agents to be excited about playing in Sacramento is to build on the excitement our current team has for one another. 我仍然相信Doncic有较高的机会在将来成为超级球星。但在追求超级球星之外，我更期盼 一个长期，紧密合作的篮球团队。要确认走在这样的道路上，我们需要人是喜欢这个城市 ，且对於跟这些队友们打球感到兴奋的人。 Most draft boards had Luka Doncic and Marvin Bagley close together, though it is true that a few did not. If you felt they were miles apart then I don’t expect the points I’ve offered here to change your mind. But to me, it was close. So I choose to look at it like this: 大部分选秀专家认为选择Doncic跟Bagley很接近，我认为虽然还是有些差距，但这是事实 。如果你还是认为选择两者天差地远，我也不期望上述所说可以改变你的心意。但对我来 说，我认为两者还是很接近，所以我选择这样看待这个结果： We had the choice between two potential stars. One seemed more likely to hit their personal ceiling and the other seemed more likely to let our team hit its collective ceiling. Disagree if you want. Call me a sheep or a shill. Claim that it’s wishful thinking or revisionist history. But don’t pretend that you aren’t going to watch every bit of Bagley’s rookie season. And don’t pretend that you hope I'm wrong. While it may not be exactly what we wanted, Bagley is still one hell of a gift. And it’s still time to celebrate. 我们要在两名将来可能的全明星中做挑选。一位看起来较高机会可以到达他的上限，而令 一位则是可以让我们全队一起到达我们的天花板。 你可以否定这样的说法，说我是在乱讲。但不要假装你打算对於Bagley的新人球季不闻不 问，且不要假装你希望我是错的。 虽然这可能不是我们真的想要的，Bagley真的是选秀会上一个超棒的礼物。现在要庆祝还 来得及。 --
