※ [本文转录自 Pistons 看板] 作者: Afflalo (Arron Afflalo) 看板: Pistons 标题: [外电] 活塞没选Chris Douglas-Roberts之原因 时间: Sun Jun 29 13:07:47 2008 From June 28, WDFN.com: WDFN早上的节目有人打电话进去说他那晚待在Chris Douglas-Roberts家中。 CDR表示他不认为自己适合活塞，没兴趣成为活塞人，想要去一支"ran more" 的球队。 CDR认为他不会掉到第29顺位，觉得掉到像29这麽低的顺位让活塞选他对他来 说是种羞辱。CDR身旁的人还说CDR认为自己稳稳的有20顺位。 活塞的确有找 CDR来测试，但他没来。 http://tinyurl.com/3p9xtq 活塞随队记者批CDR by A. Sherrod Blakely AUBURN HILLS -- There's a part of the NBA draft process that's seldom talked about, but plays as big a role as any in who a team selects. 选秀过程中有一个部分很少被谈到，但却对球队的选择有重要的影响。 It's the part where draft prospects decide which teams to work out, and which ones to blow off. 就是参与选秀的球员决定到哪队测试，不到哪队测试的这部分。 Having covered soon-to-be pro athletes in football and basketball for more than 15 years, I've seen a lot of guys screw this process up. 超过十五年采访未来职业足球员、篮球员生涯，我看过很多成功的例子。 And we saw quite a few guys get this painfully wrong Thursday night. 在星期四晚上我门也看到几个得到惨痛教训的球员。 The thing that disturbs me - and I would imagine, most fans - is how a lot of these soon-to-be-millionaires just don't seem to get it. Playing in the NBA is more than just a job; it's a VIP pass into a lifestyle that few ever understand and even fewer gain admittance into. So to see draft prospects take all this for granted, before they even get to the league, is disturbing. Sadly, Memphis' Chris Douglas-Roberts, a Detroit native, falls into this category. 出生自底特律的CDR就是个失败的例子。 RELATED CONTENT He was a very good college player, and certainly one of the nation's best. 他是个很不错的大学球员，也是全国最好的球员之一。 But good enough to blow off working out for teams in the first round, teams that were picking around where he was supposed to be drafted? 但好到足以拒绝第一轮球队的测试，那些应该会选到他的球队？ I don't think so. That was among the reasons why the first round came and went Thursday night, and he was still on the board. 这也是在星期四晚上第一轮过後他仍然没人要的原因之一。 Detroit was among the teams with first-round picks that Douglas-Roberts as well as a couple other notable second-round picks (Mario Chalmers being one of them) elected to not work out for. 活塞是CDR选择不去测试的第一轮球队之一，几个值得注意的第二轮选秀（包括Mario Chalmers）也选择不到活塞测试。 They weren't the only ones. 他们不是唯一这样做的选秀。 A number of players were drafted later than expected because of their refusal to work out for certain teams. 有几个比预期晚才被选上的球员也是因为他们拒绝到一些球队测试。 Douglas-Roberts, whose skinny frame and ability to score in bunches is reminiscent of Richard Hamilton's game, refused to work out for the Pistons despite being considered a late first-round pick. He was under the impression that he would be gone by the time No. 29 was on the clock. CDR偏瘦的身材和得一堆分数的能力让人想到Rip，虽然被视为第一轮末段选秀他仍拒绝 到活塞进行测试。他认为自己会在29顺位前被选走。 Oops. So when the Pistons traded out of the first round and had pick No. 32 and Douglas-Roberts was still on the board, it didn't matter. Detroit had no plans on drafting him. And so he continued to fall before ultimately being scooped up by New Jersey with the 40th pick. 所以当活塞交易了第一轮选秀换来第32顺位时CDR仍没人要。活塞没计画选他。然後 他就一直掉到第四十顺位才被篮网选走。 His arrogance reminded me of when I covered college football back in the 1990s. There was a receiver who had a great junior year, decided to come back and was solid as a senior. He was all over the place on most draft boards, but all had him being drafted by somebody. 他的傲慢让笔者想到1990年代的一位大学足球员。大三打得很好，大四也是。选秀会 前也被评估一定会被某个球队选走。 We were talking one day leading up to the draft, and I found it odd that he had narrowed the list of teams he'd work out for to about five or six. 但他只去了五、六个球队测试。 Big mistake. All of his workouts were horrible. And as his agent tried to scramble to get more workouts, teams didn't want to bring him in because of how poorly he had performed elsewhere. He went undrafted. 他的测试很糟。当经纪人想帮他多去几队做测试时因为之前他的测试太糟了，所以就 没有球队再找他去测试。最後在选秀时没人要他。 A few years later, I covered a wide receiver who also opted to come back after a strong junior season. He was even better as a senior, and it was a pretty safe bet to believe that he would be taken in the first round. 几年後另一个大四毕业生一般相信会在第一轮中选。 I remember asking him leading up to the draft what teams did he plan to work out for. 笔者问到他计画去哪些球队测试。 "Anybody who wants me," he said. "任何想要选我的球队，"他说。 That wide receiver was Torry Holt, who went on to be the No. 6 overall pick, a Pro Bowler, a Super Bowl champion and when he's done playing, a likely Hall of Famer. 那人就是Torry Holt，在第六顺位被选上，拿过超级盃冠军。职业生涯结束後有可能 会进名人堂。 Like those two football players, Douglas-Roberts has talent and clearly a high opinion (ego) of himself. But when you allow that ego to ride shot gun on the eve of your professional career, you're doomed to crash sooner or later. 就像那两位足球员一样CDR拥有天份，也对自己有很高的期望。但当你让那自尊凌驾於 职业生涯的话，你迟早都会失败的。 Players can't work out for every team with a draft pick. 球员无法到每队做测试。 I understand that. But this isn't like picking a girl friend or a new car. 但这不像选马子或新车。 This is a job we're talking about; a very high-paying job with very few openings, mind you. 这是一个高报偿，机会低的工作。 And if you're trying to land such a coveted job, why would you limit your options? 当你想得到这个梦寐以求的工作时，你会限制自己的选择吗？ And if you're a team trying to figure out who to draft, why would you take a guy that clearly didn't want to be part of your team? 如果你是一个试着了解要选谁的球队，你会找一个显然对成为你们球队一份子没兴趣 的人吗？ Fans can take Joe Dumars to task for drafting Walter Sharpe, a player most of us never heard of or saw play before. But his decision to not take Douglas-Roberts was a no-brainer. 老乔不选CDR是非常简单的决定。 Would the Pistons have taken Douglas-Roberts at No. 32? 活塞该在32顺位选CDR吗？ Who knows. 吓人栽。 But his refusal to even give the Pistons a chance to work him out, made the decision to blow him off at No. 32, an easy one to make. 但他拒绝让活塞有机会测试他，也让活塞在32顺位时不选择他的决择变的容易。 http://tinyurl.com/4mzchj --
