Grading Carlos Delfino By Forrest Walker http://www.red94.net/grading-carlos-delfino/12639/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carlos Delfino joined the 2012-2013 Houston Rockets as the quintessential Morey acquisition. Daryl Morey, general manager and analytics hero, loves to find overlooked bargain, mis-estimated players, and market inequalities. Morey saw Delfino, appraised his worth, then signed him to team-friendly contract. How did that work out? Delfino was a useful player for the Rockets, was worth his contract, and is likely to be let go for the long-term good of the team. Just as expected. Carlos Delfino在12-13球季加入火箭队，是一种典型的Morey式徵招。 火箭队总管Daryl Morey热爱寻找"被忽略的特价商品"，"被低估的球员"和"市场的不平衡"。 Morey看见了Delfino并权衡过他的价值後，以对球队有利的合约将他签下。 到底成效如何呢? Delfino是名对火箭队有帮助的球员，并且符合他的身价(3M)， 但火箭队还是有机会因为球队的长期利益考量，而将Delfino放走，就如我们预测的一样。 [*注: 12-13 $3M ， 13-14 $3M (球队选项)] We can start at the ending this season, with Carlos Delfino’s season coming to a close after a stunning dunk over Kevin Durant which aggravated Delfino’s already-injured foot. He was playing on a foot that he knew was injured, and then had to stop when it turned out to be broken. His entire season was marked by attempts to play beyond his capability for a team that just needed him to play within himself. It’s impressive that he was so full of determination and passion for the Rockets, but sometimes good enough really is good enough. 我们可以从本球季末，Carlos Delfino因在季後赛带着原本就受伤的脚， 面对Kevin Durant爆扣後，并宣告因伤本季报销开始谈起。 他知道那时他自己是带伤上阵的，并且也知道是因为这样才球季报销的。 检视他的整个球季， 他尝试为了球队去作一些超越他原本能力所及的事情，即便球队只需他打出自己的风格。 而那非常令人印象深刻，他对火箭队全心全力地投入并带有满腔热血。 但有时候，"刚刚好"就只是"刚刚好"而已。 Good enough is exactly what Delfino’s stats say: 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 turnovers and 1.4 steals per 36 minutes to go with 40.5% shooting from the field and 37.5% shooting from downtown. As a three point specialist, he launched nearly 70% of his attempts from behind the arc, which is exactly what the Rockets wanted to see. His 40.5% overall is poor, but 37.5% from deep is a solid mark for a marksman on his contract. He added a few peripherals, but nothing notable given his decent height (6’6”) and minutes played at the power forward position. He gave a solid performance for his pay grade. Delfino本季刚刚好的PER36数据: 15.1Pts + 4.7Rebs + 2.9Asts + 1.5Tos + 1.4Stls (FG% - 40.5% + 3PT% - 37.5% ) 身为一名三分射手，他有将近70%的出手来自三分线，这也正是火箭队乐见的。 虽然他的FG% - 40.5%是不良的，但是37.5%的3PT%相对他的射手合约来说是紮实的。 他有时候需要扮演射手之外的次要角色: 大前锋，即使他只有6'6"。 但总体来说，他的表现不愧对於他的薪资。 That pay grade came at a very palatable $3 million per year for two years, with no money guaranteed on the second year. This contract allowed Houston to sign a veteran presence and decent contributor at cut-rate prices without even risking any cap space in the second year. His expiring contract could have proved useful trade fodder if a deal had presented itself, but as it is, he did the job he needed to in the time he was needed. With Dwight Howard rumors abounding, it should surprise no one if (and when) Houston announces that they won’t pick up his contract. The Rockets need cap space; that’s why they signed him to that contract. 以他的合约来说: 2年皆$3M，第2年还是无保证薪资。这对球队来说是很惬意的。 让火箭队得以对球队有利的合约，签下他这位有能力贡献的杰出老将， 并且免於在第二年球队薪资空间的风险。 而他这份快到期合约，在球队需要交易时，也是非常好的筹码。 即使如此，他还是在球场上安分守己并作出贡献。 随着Dwight Howard的交易谣言纷纷出笼，如果真的球队选择不执行13-14年的合约选项， 这也是非常合理的。 火箭队无疑地需要薪资空间，这也是火箭队跟他签下这份合约的真正用意。 His contract, then, gives us a metric by which to look at Delfino. He gave a performance which looks solid, if not spectacular on paper. What does he look like in games, then? The single word answer is “inconsistent.” As with three pointers in general, he was prone to hot streaks and cold spells. His 7-9 shooting nights were a sight to behold, but his 2-9 nights balanced that out. He shot relentlessly, which can be a fault in a starter, but was the desired attitude in a bench shooter. The only real issues arose when he would try to create off the dribble or expand his usefulness. He was a capable passer and a passable rebounder, but as slasher or distributor he left something to be desired. He may only have turned it over 1.4 times per 36 minutes, but every turnover seemed to come with too many dribbles on his part. 他的合约给予我们一个公正客观的角度去检视他的表现。 而他的表现是很紮实的，但是在数据上并不华丽， 那他在场上的实际表现看起来如何呢? 如果只用一个形容词，那就是 : "不稳定的" 他曾有在一场比赛投9中7的杰出表现，但也有过投9中2的表现将杰出的表现给平衡掉了。 他的勇於出手，对於先发球员来说或许是个错误，但对於板凳球员来说是正确的。 而真正的问题是，当他尝试去运(盘)球时或作他能力范围以外的事情时。 他有传球的能力也有还过得去的抓篮板能力， 但如果作为一个用突破撕裂对方防守冲锋者或者切入分球者，这方面能力是有待证明的。 他或许用PER36的数据来看，只有1.4次的失误，但大部分的失误都来自於运球过多。 Delfino seemed to not only accept his role, but to want to do even more for the team. His veteran savvy and acceptable (if not exactly good) defense kept him on the floor. Even when Francisco Garcia came to compete for minutes, head coach Kevin McHale continued to believe in Delfino’s ability to play. He may not have always made the right choice, but he was never prone to panic or frustration. He played the game Houston wanted from him. With a quiet exit from the team likely, the only way Delfino could find himself in Rockets red next year would be a re-negotiated deal after Houston signs whoever they sign this summer. With Francisco Garcia occupying the same role but with slightly better stats and defense, Delfino’s chances of return can only shrink. Delfino似乎除了愿意担任球队所赋予的角色，并且自己还希望作的更多。 而他在防守端还算可以的能力以及老将经验，让他留在场上作战。 即使有时候，当Francisco Garcia的表现有能力将上场时间独自消化， 但总教练Kevin McHale还是选择继续相信Delfino，并将他送去球场上。 或许他不会总是做出正确的决定，但他在场上从不会显现慌张或者挫折。 并且他用球队想要的方式去打球。 如果下季他还想待在球队里，看似唯一的出路是，等火箭队在今夏补强完毕後， 再与球队重新谈判。 看看另一名角色功能相似，但在攻守数据更突出一点的Francisco Garcia， 这让Delfino回归球队的机率又更显渺小。 In total, Delfino was good enough. He was worth the money, and played his role. He didn’t excel in anything, but he wasn’t expected to. He had some good games and some bad games. He sometimes tried to do too much, and that’s better than doing too little. He contributed to a good team, but not well enough to stop another player from taking over that role. It was good that he didn’t disappoint, but that’s not a good grade. That’s just a good enough grade. 总结: Delfino本季表现刚刚好，并且符合他的合约和角色。 他并没有在某方面有太杰出的表现，这也和他原先被预期的相同。 他有一些好的，也有一些不怎麽好的比赛。 而他有时候会尝试太多事情，这方面最好能免则免。 他对球队的贡献良好，但还不足以成为，避免被其他球员代替的角色。 所以对他的评分不低也不高，就是是刚刚好，真的就是刚刚好的评分。 Grade: C 延伸阅读: Player Report Cards: Carlos Delfino C- http://0rz.tw/GXspC -- ★Thanks for the ride, Houston Rockets 12-13★ --
