ASK IRA: Are Harry Giles' knees an acceptable NBA draft risk for Miami Heat? 来源 goo.gl/j8GzF5 Sun Sentinel Ira Winderman Q: Hey Ira, after doing some of my own research (not that I'm a scout that knows how to do actual research), I am convinced that the Heat should take Harry Giles out of Duke. I understand the injury risk, but the ceiling on the reward is too high to pass. He is a game changer when fully engaged (which coming off an injury, seems like it's just more conditioning than anything). The offense and defense are there and he has the Spo-ism's down already: He shows toughness, grit, not afraid to get down and dirty, hustles. And all this from a talented guy is not always normal. That is what separates him from the pack to me. I can see an All-Star power forward in him. Thoughts? -- Ricky, Dallas. A: The first thought is for the Heat medical staff to feel confident, after surgeries on both knees, that Giles is healthy enough to both contribute and endure in the NBA. But the reality is that if other NBA medical staffs come to that conclusion, as well, then Giles likely goes before the Heat's No. 14 selection. The Heat, by and large, since taking a shot with Dorell Wright, have gone mostly with more ready-to-contribute types, such as Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole, Justise Winslow, and, as some thought, Shabazz Napier. This would be the type of pick the Heat would have to finesse, basically putting it out there that they are not interested . . . until they can pounce. If that, indeed, is to be the play. I have no issue with a high-risk, high-reward type of gamble. There always are enough journeymen free agents available to fill holes and something close to the minimum salary. 首先,热火医疗团队要先确信Giles的双膝在术後仍然够健康地可在NBA持续的发展下去. 但实际上若其他球队的医疗团队有相同的结论,那麽热火将无法在14顺位选到他. 而热火在Dorell Wright之後的选秀大体上都是挑选即战力. 我知道在赌博上高风险伴随着高报酬. 但市场上总是有足够的璞玉(空有天赋但无法发挥的)等着人发掘. Q: Why am I not hearing about any Miami Heat workouts? -- Salo. A: The Heat have taken a varied approach to the process over the years. This year they are declining to announce their workouts, are not making prospects available for media interviews, and do not plan to post workout videos on their website. Naturally, many agents are more than willing to share the workout status of their clients, so such visits tend to become public, anyway. But also be careful of reports of player visits with players who may not have visited, as some attempt to create first-round markets, or at least interest, for their clients. The whole "visit" discussion tends to become overstated, anyway, with prospects also working in group sessions organized by agents that are open to any team, with the Heat maintaining regular presence at such sessions. Q:为何我没有听到任何的热火试训消息？ A:多年来热火已采行各种不同的方法. 而今年热火不会公开试训,不开放给媒体拍摄也不会将试训影片放到网路上. 但是许多经纪人会积极分享他们的客户参与试训的状态讯息,所以大众还是能轻松的取 得相关资讯. 但相对的还要小心公开太多资讯而使得他们的客户可能从原本的首轮位置一路下滑, 甚至乏人问津.保持或是进行炒作抬高客户身价是经纪人的目标. 而在经纪人进行这些活动时,热火将不会缺席. Q: Pat Riley is up to something. -- P.K. A: Always. Especially, I'm sure, as he watches one player that got away in 2014 (LeBron James) go up in the NBA Finals against one he courted last summer (Kevin Durant). That's why I'm not buying him putting his harpoon into storage, not where a gettable whale could yet surface. Q:油头在计画着甚麽. A:他总是如此,特别是他看到LBJ跟KD会师总冠军赛时,我确信他将会采取行动. --
