http://www.sltrib.com/jazz/ci_3992997 After spending much of this month trying to remind everyone that the NBA draft is overvalued and overhyped, in defense of their poor execution lately in the middle of the first round, the Jazz went ahead Wednesday night and staged another party anyway. 在花了很多时间来提醒大家 NBA选秀是个被过份评价和过份期待的，并 且为自己过去几年第一轮中段的烂选秀辩护的情况之下，不管怎样，爵士 队在礼拜三晚上走上了舞台，并且又选了一次。 They gave away hot dogs and drinks, brought in the Jazz Dancers to entertain the Delta Center crowd briefly and hawked season tickets, all while performing this tricky stunt of selling hope and yet not creating unreasonable expectations. 他们送了一堆热狗和饮料，还叫爵士啦啦队来给这些有季票的观众，这 一切有的没的小技俩都是在给观众希望，还有一些不理性的期待。 Into this arena of mixed messages stepped first-round pick Ronnie Brewer, a swingman from Arkansas. Or maybe he ran, jumped or flew into the organization, based on all the gushing about his athletic ability. 当第一轮的 Brewer ，他是阿肯色的摇摆人，被选的时候，在场馆里面 的人们有许多不同的评价。或者是他跑、跳、飞进了这个球队里面，是因 为 的运动力。 "He's got size, he's got strength," said Jazz vice president Kevin O'Connor. "He gives us something we didn't have. . . . He gives us exactly what we need." Oh, I'm sorry. Those were recycled quotes from O'Connor two years ago regarding Kirk Snyder, a guard with basically the same skill set who lasted one season with the team as a No. 16 pick, having also left college after his junior season. 「他有高度，他有能力，」 KOC说。「他给我们一些我们没有的东西.. 他给我们我们确实需要的。」 喔，对不起。这写是 KOC两年前对於某个叫做 Synder 的回收过的话罢 了，他是一个基本上一模一样的能力，并且在队上待了一年的人，同样的 也是在大三的时候就跑进了 NBA选秀。 So, my review of the Jazz's '06 draft? Mixed, what else? I'm quite intrigued by the second-round choices: another Illinois point guard (Dee Brown) to join Deron Williams and another Louisiana Tech forward (Paul Millsap), 21 years later. Then again, the Kris Humphries story is a history lesson about the danger of any Karl Malone comparisons on draft night. The part of Brewer's game that could be interesting, as defined by O'Connor, deals with his ability to guard perimeter shooters. Wow. Could this mean the end of the traditional just-hope-they-miss defensive strategy? 所以，我对於爵士的06年选秀看法是如何？复杂的，还有勒？ 我对於第二轮还蛮阴谋论 /困惑的：又一个依利诺的控卫和 Deron聚在 一起，还有另一个 Louisiana Tech 的前锋，在 21 年之後加入。又一次 ，我们看到一个 Humphries的历史课又告诉我们，另一个在选秀当日被评 比为马龙的危险又出现了。 Brewer的能力会是很有趣的，据 KOC的说法，是评价他防守外线投篮者 的能力。哇。这可能是结束那个「拜托你不要进」的传统防守战略时代吗？ No question, the Jazz needed athletic ability. Brewer will improve that quotient, although the bench-pressing and standing-broad-jumping performances O'Connor was raving about sounded more like NFL draft credentials. Maybe they will translate into NBA-level skills, but who knows? At least, O'Connor and coach Jerry Sloan were sticking to their recent theme about the vagaries of picking in the middle of the first round, not trying to claim they had made a remarkable, franchise-changing discovery. 的确，爵士队需要运动力。 Brewer 会在这方面给我们帮助，虽然被那 个 KOC夸赞的卧推和助跑跳的表现，看起来比较像是在选个 NFL的球员。 也许这会被转换成 NBA等级的能力，不过谁知道？ 至少， KOC和 Sloan教练仍然死硬的在他们这几年鸟蛋的第一轮中段选 秀上继续着，并没有试着去宣称自己在做一个值得注意的，改变整个球队 的新发现等等。 "I don't think that anybody at the 14th pick is NBA-ready," O'Connor said. "You have to remember, he's still a young guy," Sloan said. "The work has to come from the player. We can't make anybody play." There's considerable evidence of that. 「我不认为任何 14 顺位的选秀球员是即战力，」 KOC说。 「你必须要记住一件事，他还是个年轻人，」 Sloan说。「这方面的努 力是要从球员们自发的。我们不能帮任何球员打球。」 这是某种重要的证据。 Many of the Delta Center attendees moaned when J.J. Redick went to Orlando three slots ahead of the Jazz. They wanted somebody with a pure shooting stroke, and they got a guy with a style he describes as "unorthodox." They wanted Johnny Miller; they got Jim Furyk. "It might look funny," Brewer said of his shot, "but it goes in." Yet there's no way to beautify this pick. Unlike Redick, Brewer is not going to come into this league and suddenly hit a bunch of three-pointers. The best Jazz followers can hope is that he keeps the other guys from making as many of them. 很多达塔中心前来观看的人们在 JJ 在爵士队前三个顺位被魔术被干走 的时候叹息了一下。他们想要一个有纯粹的投射能力的，而且他们得到了 一个「异教徒」。他们要的是强尼米勒，而他们得到了吉姆福瑞客。 「这看起来可能很有趣。」 Brewer 谈到他的投射（姿势）的时候说。 「不过管他的，他会进。」 喔，同样的我们也不能美化这个选秀顺位。不像 Redick ，Brewer不会 一进来联盟就突然干了一堆三分。爵士队球迷们能够希望的是，他能够让 後面的人不要继续和他一样了........。 [email protected] --
