Chad Ford跟美国乡民的对谈简翻 ============================================================= Reggie (MN) Q. Flip has always stated he looks "for the home run"...It's why he picked Shabbaz and LaVine. Based on that...why does he seem to favor Okafor over Towns? Especially since Towns plays better D, shoots better from the FT line, can run and spread the floor better, has higher upside.... Is Flip just creating drama or is he really torn between the two? Seems like everyone else on the planet has Towns as the consensus #1. 老桑一直强调 - 选秀走开强振全垒打路线 所以才选了沙巴子 + LaVine 那….为甚麽他现在会倾向选Okafor哩? 尤其Towns有更好的防守、投射、罚球、跑更快、天花板更高 是老桑故意在演戏制造悬疑吗? 看起来地球上全人类都认为Towns铁定壮元了 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chad Ford (1:04 PM) A. First of all, from July-February, Okafor was the consensus No. 1 guy. So it's not like he can't play. I think Flip see's Okafor as a major post up presence on offense -- a major need of the Wolves. But you're right. Towns has more strengths than Okafor, fewer weaknesses (if any) and I think he's a better fit with Gourgi Dieng and Pekovic. No question Towns can play some four in the NBA and be a nightmare match-up. Let's see what happens when they come in to visit with the team. I don't think the Wolves will get to see them workout together, and both guys are impressive off the court. But we're still three weeks away. Lots of homework going on. I think the Wolves will eventually decide to take him 1, or perhaps swap with the Lakers and try to pick up another asset. 首先，Okafor其实从去年七月到今年二月都还是壮元最佳人选 他当然可以打. 老桑爱他的低位进攻. 认为是灰狼需要的 Towns比Okafor缺点更少 (如果有的话) Ford认为Towns比Okafor更适合和枸杞、Peko搭配 毫无疑问Towns可以在NBA拉到4号 Ford不认为我狼有机会看到他两人同场较劲测试 场下访谈，两人也都是彬彬有礼乖小孩 离选秀还有三周，老桑还有时间做他的功课 Ford认为Towns最终还是会当上壮元 Or 拿去跟湖人交易多拿点东西回来 ======================================================================== Pete (Indiana) Q. You saw Towns workout on Monday. How good is he? 看过Towns workout的感想如何阿？ -------------------------------------------------- Chad Ford (1:08 PM) A. Crazy, crazy good. Great NBA body. Huge wingspan. Incredible shooting touch from NBA three and mid-range. Moves well without the ball. And I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with him. Great personality. Highly intelligent. Humble. He's a hard worker. He's going to be a beast in the NBA. I'll see Okafor and Porzinigs workout in a few weeks, but based on everything I've seen, I think he's the best prospect in the draft. But that doesn't mean I don't think guys like Okafor, D'Angelo Russell, Porzingis or Emmanual Mudiay aren't worthy. Crazy Good (我想不到中文更好的翻译) 好身体、超长臂展、三分/中距离手感让人惊艳、无球移动赞. 人品OK. Ford接下来还会去看Okafor、KP训练. 但目前看来Towns是他心目中的No.1 prospect. ========================================================================== Kevin (Puerto Rico) [via mobile] Q. Would the Lakers pick Russell over Okafor? 你湖有可能选Russell弃Okafor吗? -------------------------------------------------------------------- A. Chad Ford (1:12 PM) Perhaps. I think Towns is No. 1 on their board. After that, I think they're still figuring this out. Okafor, Russell and Mudiay are all fits. Porzingis is worthy of the pick. And while the Lakers have publicly said their keeping the pick, there's a growing feeling around the league that if they can land a young veteran for the pick, it's available. The Lakers aren't keen on rebuilding if they don't have to. But it would have to take an All-Star caliber young player to make the deal. 可能喔～ Ford认为Towns也是你湖的第一目标。 至於第二顺位则还犹豫，Okafor, Russell, Mudiay甚至KP都有可能. 在你湖公开宣示会保留选秀权後，最近风声越传越大 可能会拿2号签换年轻All-star等级的球员来 (谁?) 这支签并不是不能交易 个人意见： 不是很想在湖人版发言 如果最终湖人组成Randle + Okafor 很有可能重现当年我们Love + Peko 进攻打死你；防守任你骑的禁区组合 当然Randle + Okafor体能、浅力更好啦 但现在NBA有哪支强队禁区没有一只防守好的门神在撑的 ====================================================================== Briks (Philly) [via mobile] Q. If Russell goes at 2, do you think the Sixers might trade down with a team who wants Okafor? Would something like 3 for 7 and the Nuggets 2017 1st make sense? 如果Russell在第二顺位被挑走 76人有可能选择Okafor然後向下交易给真的需要他的球队吗? 例如像金块换来7号签 + 2017 一轮签 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Chad Ford (1:15 PM) A. No. They have enough future picks. I think that Emmanuel Mudiay or Kristaps Porzingis would get the call if Russell and Towns are off the board. Mudiay fits an obvious need. Porzingis doesn't, necessarily, but I keep hearing that the Sixers are very high on him. And they should be. 不！！ 76人已经有够多选秀签了. 如果Towns跟Russell没得选 Mudiay最有可能，也符合队形需要 (need PG) 76人虽然不太需要KP, 但有传闻球团爱他 ======================================================================== Anthony (NYC) Q. Are the Knicks the biggest wildcard at the top of the draft? Feels - most likely - we see Towns, Okafor, Russell and then the Knicks could go Winslow, WCS or Mudiay. Or they could trade back. Or trade the pick. 前四顺位，感觉尼克最容易来乱 会选谁～到底～？ ---------------------------------------------------------- Chad Ford (1:18 PM) A, Well that about sums it up. As I wrote in my Mock Draft 6.0 on Tuesday, the Knicks are looking hard at both WCS and Winslow at 4. WCS has, especially, drawn support in the front office of late and might be the choice if Okafor, Towns and Russell are all off the board. And trade has and will likely be the first option if they can land a young All-Star caliber vet with the pick here. Phil Jackson won't rebuild if he doesn't have to. 讨论同时，Ford还在写他最新版的mock draft 尼克认真在WCS跟Winslow之间考虑 不过既然Towns, Okafor, Russell都没了 交易也是选项之一 ================================================================ Ed (NY) Q. Chad, saw the videos you posted on WCS & Towns. How impressive was WCS's shooting? If he can hit that shot in the NBA could he possibly end up being better than Towns even? Do you think that shot can translate to the NBA? If so Knicks should be all over him? 看过WCS, Towns的训练影片 WCS的投射有多棒棒？ 如果WCS能有稳定的投篮，他的未来有可能比Towns还光明吗? (太多问句了…) Chad Ford (1:21 PM) A. No one is drafting Cauley-Stein because he can shoot. Yes, he showed off an impressive mid-range jumper in the workout. And for those that watched Kentucky practices this year or shoot arounds, they know that's nothing new. He even began hitting a few in games toward the end of the season. But offensively, he's still pretty raw. The appeal is that he might be the best defender to come into the draft in a very long time. Not only is he freakishly athletic for a player his size, he has a great feel for defense. He's very intelligent. And with Phil Jackson saying the team desperately needs defense, I do think he'd be a great fit in New York. Wouldn't shock me at all if he went 4. 没有球队选WCS是因为他能射！ WCS看起来是很会射 但有看他在球队跟赛前练习的话，这不是啥新鲜事 球季末，他已经能够在比赛投进一些球了 进攻方面WCS还很嫩，防守才是他的杀手? 禅师一直强调尼克需要防守 Ford认为WCS会是尼克的好选择0 ======================================================================== Charlie (Loeb) Q. Will Mudiay work out for teams? Mudiay会到球队workout吗? (发文同时，他的work之旅已经开始了) ----------------------------------------------- Chad Ford (1:24 PM) A. Yes. And he's even willing to work out against D'Angelo Russell (though I doubt that happens). And I think things will begin to change once he starts working out. It's been a year since NBA teams had a good look at him. The last time they did, almost all of them felt like he was one of the two best players in the draft. Unless he regressed terribly in China (and no one is saying that) he's going to be impressive in workouts. I've spoke to several people that have seen him in workouts (I've got him scheduled soon to see first hand) and all rave about him. It feels like he's sliding, but I think several good workouts can change all of that. I remain a strong believer in Mudiay. 当然！ Mudiay甚至愿意跟Russell一对一真男人对决 (但应该不会发生) Workout对Mudiay很重要，可能改变一切 毕竟过去一年他在神秘国度 - 中国CBA打球 一切看来都很迷 Ford对他还有信心 ====================================================================== Pete (Philly) Q. I know you tweeted Russell's vertical - any other signs from that workout that he's a better athlete than folks may think? Ford在tweeter说Russell的跳高测试成绩很好 所以从训练观察，他有展现更好的体能爆发力吗？ ----------------------------------------------------------- Chad Ford (1:28 PM) A. I still don't think he's an explosive or elite athlete. Didn't see that in the workout. But he's not the bad athlete that some NBA scouts claim. The 30.5 inch standing vertical and the 39 inch max vertical are both excellent. And he has such a high IQ that I feel like he maximizes what athleticism he has much like Steph Curry and James Harden does. I'm not overly worried about it. He does everything else well. He has a ton of weapons in his arsenal. Russell还是一样 体能没这麽强，但没想像中这麽差 原地跳高30.5 inch, 跑跳有39 inch. 够好了 Russell有足够的篮球IQ来弥补体能上的不足 Just like Steph Curry跟胡子 --
