http://0rz.tw/v7Xvp Jeff Withey turned in a fine rookie campaign. He went from an afterthought on the bench to becoming an important member of the rotation to starting 3 of the final 4 games. As a starter, he averaged 7.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in 26.1 minutes a game. Not awe inspiring numbers, but as we'll mention later, there still exists hope he could function as a key contributor on a winning squad. At the very least, he performs very well in several facets that will ensure his employment in the league for years to come. Withey也加入了优秀菜鸟的行列。从坐在板凳深处到最後4场比赛有3场先发，在先发的时 候他平均7.8分5.3篮板和2.8火锅，平均上了26.1分钟。并不是非常优秀的数据，但存在了 在一支常胜军中他会是重要球员的希望。 Although Monty often kept Withey at the back of the bench, he did note his improvement: 虽然Monty常常将Withey冰在板凳深处，但并不代表他没看到他的进步 "Jeff has come a long way this season," Pelicans coach Monty Williams. "He looks nothing like the guy we saw in training camp. He has worked hard. His body looks different, and he has made progress on the court working with (assistant coach) Kevin (Hanson)." 「Jeff这季进步非常多，他现在不像是当时在训练营的那样子，他的身材看起来不一样， 而且和助教Kevin Hanson在一起训练让他持续进步」Monty说 The Good Jeff Withey flashed a good deal of positives. First, he was ultra-efficient on offense. Out of all NBA players who played a minimum of 500 minutes, he ranked 9th in offensive rating. Yes, he was fastidious with his shot selection, but on a team with a wealth of scoring options, that didn't pose as a hindrance. In fact, when he was on the floor, the Pelicans boosted a positive Net Rating of 2.1 (105.5 ORtg, 103.4 DRtg), the best of all Pelican regulars not named Luke Babbitt. Withey有一些正面的表现。首先，他在进攻上异常有效率。所有至少打了500分钟的球员 中，他在进攻率上排名第9。是的，他出手很挑，但在一支有许多进攻武器的球队，这并 不是一件坏事。事实上，当他在场上，鹈鹕是+2.1(105.5ORtg, 103.4 DRtg)，除了 Babbitt外他最好。 Second, Withey posted a 6.1 BLK%. That placed him sixth in the league, sitting only behind Anthony Davis, Serge Ibaka, Bismack Biyombo, Ronny Turiaf and Chris Andersen. For all those clamoring for a twin towers effect immediately after it was announced the Pelicans selected Nerlens Noel in last year's draft, there still remains the chance of incredible paint protection down the road. 再来，他的火锅率为6.1%。排名联盟第六，只低於AD、一巴卡、毕勇伯、Turiaf和鸟人。 对那些希望组双塔的人，Withey给了他们另一个希望。 Third, Withey proved his reputation as a renowned collegiate defender wasn't a fluke. According to Synergy Sports, opponents managed a 39.8 FG% against him. Player tracking data via NBA.com states he held the opposition to a 42.9 FG% around the rim. That's 6 percentage points more stingy than Davis and the only bigs who averaged 25+ minutes a game to best that mark were Brook Lopez, Roy Hibbert, Larry Sanders and Robin Lopez. 三，Withey证明他防守能手的称号并非浪得虚名。根据Synergy Sports，对方面对他的命 中率只有39.8%。NBA.com的数据说明他让对手在篮框附近的命中率只有42.9%。比AD还要少 6%。 The Bad Depending on the type of analysis used, there exists either just one major flaw or several. Jeff Withey averaged a very underwhelming 7.9 rebounds per 36. His rebounding was so poor that he ranked last on the team in percentage of rebounds per chance, 47.5%! His two point field goal percentage of 53.9% is low considering 65.9% of his attempts came from this area. His 6.8 field goal attempts per 36 invoke the belief he's a one dimensional player. 但他也有一些缺点。他每36分钟仅仅只能抓下7.9篮板，在每次有篮板机会下有抓下篮板的 比率是全队最低，只有47.5%。他的二分命中率53.9%依照他的投篮位置来看也是偏低。 每36分钟只投了6.8球，也代表着目前他只有防守。 On the other hand, one compelling attribute was largely to blame. His lack of girth. Jeff Withey entered the league at 222 pounds and that's approximately 30 pounds less than a typical center. For centers, positioning is everything. If one doesn't have the requisite strength nor weight, it puts them at a significant disadvantage. 另外还有一个很大的缺点，他并没有变壮。刚进联盟时是222磅，比典型的中锋少了大约 30磅。对於中锋来说，位置是一切，如果没有力量或吨位，将会吃很大的亏。 The Future "I like to model my game after Tyson Chandler defensively. It would be awesome to come here and learn from him, get some stuff from him, and mentor underneath him." 「我会将自己定位为泰山型的球员，如果能够在这里向他学习将会是非常棒的事」Withey 在尼克试训的时候说 Jeff Withey uttered these words after a pre-draft workout with the New York Knicks. Lo and behold, in looking for a decent comparison for Withey, Chandler's name came up when scouring basketball reference for super efficient big men in their age-23 season the last 15 years. Data courtesy Basketball-Reference.com. Due to body proportions, the list should be narrowed down to Tyson Chandler, Steven Hunter, JaVale McGee and Ryan Hollins. However, we can take it a step further. In his rookie season, Withey averaged 3.5 personal fouls per 36 minutes. For his career, Hollins owns a career mark of 6.3, thus never displaying the necessary aptitude to play large minutes in the league. 依照身材来分，这个表(译：表被我删了，请到网页去看)会缩到只剩泰山、Steven Hunter 、McGee和Ryan Hollins。Withey每36分钟只会犯3.5次规，Ryan Hollins平均是犯6.3次， 所以Hollins没办法上场更多时间。 Although McGee's average of 4.3 is infinitely more palatable, the differences in intelligence are readily discernible. Withey has shown to be a team-orientated player, one who doesn't exceed his boundaries. On the other hand, McGee has often made ill-use of his talent, failing to earn consistent minutes under many a head coach. Seriously, how many times has he been featured on Shaqtin a Fool? 虽然McGee的平均少了一点，但脑子差很大。Withey已经展现出来他是个团队为主的球员， 不会做超出自己能力范围的事。而McGee常常上Shaq a fool，所以他也没办法上场很久。 Granted, before the season started, the comparisons of Withey's ceiling to Chandler had already been made (well at least to some low-end, less explosive Tyson Chandler). The connection was an easy one: limited offensive players who only look to convert efficient shots around the basket, excellent rim defenders and similar body types -- reflexes and agility. But, at one point, the same could have been said of Hunter. 在球季开打前，Withey的模板就是泰山。他们都是不太会进攻，范围只在篮框附近，很会 防守，身材瘦高敏捷性高。但Hunter也是这样子。 That's a pretty broad range between just two players, so where does Withey fall? Most of it will come down to intangibles. Both Chandler and Hunter entered the league at approximately 224 pounds. They both topped out around 240 pounds. However, Chandler has shown plenty of ability to hold his own against larger opponents. His strength is above average but his motor puts him in elite company. Meanwhile, Hunter was known for shying away from physical play and had a questionable motor, hence his laughable 7.6 rebounding career average per 36. Hunter和泰山差很多，Withey会变成怎样？泰山和猎人刚进联盟时都大概只有224磅，现 在都差不多240磅。但泰山证明了他能够对抗大只佬的能力，他的力量虽然高於平均，但 他的斗志才是关键。猎人众所皆知不喜欢身体接触，而且斗志不高，因此他平均每36分钟 才抓7.6篮板。 Withey is already 23 years of age, so one can't realistically expect his frame to drastically broaden. Instead, he's going to have to dedicate himself much like Chandler, both in the weight room and in his mental approach. This is even more important considering his own self-evaluation two years ago: Withey已经23岁，所以无法预期他能够大幅变壮。但他能够让自己变得像泰山，常去重训 以及增强斗志。依照2年前他自己的描述，更需要这个。 Sometimes, I definitely need that. That challenge gets me going. Sometimes it ’s hard to jump-start my motor. I’m laid-back, so it’s hard for me to get, I guess, super angry and ready for games. 「有时候，我真的很需要火。我很懒散，所以很难让我有火」 We, nor his potential career, can't have none of that. Though, if this season was any indication and Monty's ringing endorsement at the beginning of this article, Withey has started down the right path. He is already an elite shot-blocker. He possesses the ability to make opponents around the rim miss. He has an efficient offensive game, one that could expand given his proficiency at the free throw line. 依照Monty的说法，Withey走在正确的道路上，他已经是个非常棒的火锅手。他拥有让对手 在篮框附近投失球的能力，有个很有效率的进攻，那将会让他常常上罚球线。 This off-season, Withey has just two priorities. Get bigger and get tougher. If it were possible, I'd advocate him training with a soon-to-be participant of the next World's Strongest Man competition. It appears the amount of success Jeff Withey will enjoy in the NBA is directly tied to dumbbells and heart. 这个季外，Withey最该做的两件事，就是变的更壮更硬。如果可以的话，我建议他去和要 去参加「世界上最强壮的男人」的人一起训练。Withey能有多成功就看这两项他有多用心 --
