http://tinyurl.com/cym6n86 By Jeff Caplan | ESPNDallas.com So maybe the back-to- back first-round selections of centers Bill Wennington and Uwe Blab didn't go as planned way back in 1985. Long before Mark Cuban arrived on the scene, the Mavs' draft history -- any history -- with centers has been mostly forgettable. As the summer begins to heat up with the draft next week and free agency opening days later, Dallas' center position is up in the air and potentially in dire need of reinforcement. 就在Cuban的时代之前 小牛选秀进来的中锋几乎没人记得他们是谁 (由此可见小牛队史的中锋都....不过今年到是出产了一个千万级的中锋 不过去尼克了) 今夏小牛的中锋位置也非常需要补强 With Tyson Chandler long gone, Brendan Haywood an amnesty candidate (particularly if Deron Williams signs) and Ian Mahinmi heading to free agency, adding size in the middle will be critical to any chance to contend next season. Not that a rookie will put this team over the top, but an athletic big man that can provide rim protection and even score a bit around the basket couldn't hurt the cause. Here's a look at our next draft prospect: MEYERS LEONARD School: Illinois (2 years) Position: C Age: 20 Ht./Wt.: 7-foot-1/250 2011-12 stats: 13.6 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 1.9 bpg Why he would fit: One the Mavs' top needs is size in the paint to protect the rim -- as the Oklahoma City Thunder greatly exposed in the first round -- and rebound. Leonard, unlike some big men drafted by Dallas over the years, is not a lead-foot and he could prove to be a strong complement alongside Dirk Nowitzki, not unlike Chandler. Why he would fit: 小牛急迫需要在尽区保护篮框的力量 在今年第一轮就严重暴露中枢疲软的问题 Leonard不像小牛以往选中的软趴趴又跳不高中锋 会是Dirk内线的好搭档 就像Tyson Chandler那样 Why he wouldn't fit: He could well be snapped up earlier in the draft. Buzz is surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks with the No. 12 pick after they traded Andrew Bogut to the Golden State Warriors. Why he wouldn't fit: 很现实的问题...最近Leonard的身价暴涨 非常可能在17顺位以前就被选走 有消息称握有12号签的公鹿交易掉Bogut之後会选他 Chad Ford's thumbs up, thumbs down: Up -- Long, athletic big man ... Runs the floor well ... Quick for a big guy ... Solid scorer around the basket ... Very good defensive presence in the post ... Good rebounder and shot blocker. Down -- A raw offensive player ... Needs more focus and concentration ... Needs to add strength. Chad Ford's thumbs up, thumbs down Up: 标准中锋身高且具有运动能力 运球不错 以长人来说算是敏捷 在篮框附近取分把握度稳 油漆区的防守也出色, 篮板跟火锅都没问题 Down: 进攻技巧不够纯熟 必须提升专注力 需要加强力量 Coop's comment: Not sure if he’s going to be available to Dallas at 17 as he seems to have made the biggest move post-combine. There’s a lot of Tyson Chandler in his game. He’s a legit 7-1 that can run the floor, has a nice touch and is a very good roller in the pick-and-roll game. Obviously he’s raw, much more so than Tyler Zeller, but if you’re willing to wait on him, he might wind up being the better of the two. Coop's comment: 不确定在17顺位还看不看得到他 在新秀试训开始之後 他的身价不断提升 他的比赛风格很像Tyson Chandler 货真价实7尺1寸的身高 运球跟球感都好 档拆能力也出色 但,很明显他还需要更多磨练 尤其是和Tyler Zeller相比 不过要是你愿意耐心培育他 他会成为比Zeller还要出色的球员 Mix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LWNpaPEw6o 补一条twitter看到的消息 Lang Greene: Interesting note from Dallas-Basketball.
