最近有常上OregonLive.com，發現他們好像有在放Luke Jackson 的照片。當然以現在拓荒者隊的選秀順位來看，是蠻有機會選到他的 。底下先附上他的相關資料： http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/lukejackson.asp http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=2707 　　當然在前面的文章中我有稍微提到Jackson ，只是當時我並沒有 贊同拓荒者隊利用13rd pick 去選他，畢竟他還不算是拓荒者隊在第 一時間內得先選的球員；不過Jackson 這類型的球員還算是缺乏外線 的拓荒者隊所需要補強的球員類型。目前拓荒者隊需要的是一個組織 能力不錯的控衛，再來才是像Jackson 這樣子的外線射手（當然能利 用到13rd et 23rd pick 選到這兩種球員，今夏的選秀就蠻成功的） 。不過目前的情況來看，St. Joseph's畢業的Jameer Nelson 在mock draft 中的情況蠻渾沌的，以13rd pick 而言，還不知道能不能選到 他？所以我比較希望先選Jameer Nelson ，真的選到，再看看有沒有 比Jackson 適合拓荒者隊的選秀球員，如果沒有再選Jackson ，我想 這是最好的情況。 　　我想會讓OregonLive.com提到Jackson ，不外乎他是Oregon大學 的學生，而且他給人的評價蠻像他的學長Brent Barry ，都是具有差 不多六呎六吋的身材，加上這兩人都具有很出色的外線能力，最重要 的是Oregon State當地的子弟兵，所以OregonLive.com就會特別去報 導他了！ 　　如果沒有錯的話，我好像有看到類似Jackson 在Portland進行” work”（忘記網站是用什麼字眼了！><），似乎拓荒者隊對他還蠻感 興趣的，不過也有可能是地緣關係，他就近在Portland進行簡單的” work”，順便讓拓荒者隊的制服組瞧瞧他的身手。當然他有接受訪問 ，我附在底下： Tuesday, May 18, 2004 Q&A with Luke Jackson draftcity.com has a insightful Q&A session with Luke Jackson. Here are some highlights: Givony: So can you break down for us what goes on in an NBA workout, from the second you meet with them to when you part ways? Jackson: Well, they take you to a hotel and they ask you to take these psychological tests. They test you on certain things that, depending on how you do, might tell them something about your leadership skills, how well you get along in group settings, stuff like that. Jackson: But…the one thing is that a lot of people look at me and they automatically think that I'm not that athletic. When I worked out for the Bulls they said, “we can't believe how athletic you are”. Givony: The rumors trickling down say that you recently dominated Andre Igoudala at a gym in Chicago. Can you give us the scoop about what really happened there? Did you really tear him up the way people are saying you did? Jackson: I mean…I'm not going to say that. I'm just really excited about this draft because there is a lot of talk about me moving up, and that makes me excited. But I'm not going to say anything bad about Andre's game. Givony: So what kind of role do you see yourself having in the NBA? Do you see yourself as a point-forward type guy? Jackson: Yeah, exactly. I'm like a 1-2-3. One thing about the NBA, I think I'm going to be a better NBA player than I was a college player because there are going to be guys around me that are going to be able to finish plays and understand how to play the game. That will benefit the way I play. One of my biggest strengths is that I know how to make people around me better. 　　嗯！這只是訪談的精華，想看全部的話，就去draftcity.com 逛 逛，應該能找到相關文章的全文。不過從上面的訪談中，Jackson 似 乎在之前有參加公牛隊的work，而且表現還蠻不錯的，讓在場的人都 對他稱讚，特別是和預計選秀順位前十名的Andre Iguodala對放，好 像還打敗了對手，draftcity.com 的記者還拿這件事來向他提問，不 過Jackson 蠻謙虛的就是了！:)由此看來，到時候mock draft再度更 新，說不定Jackson 的順位可能會再提昇，屆時再來觀察看看。 　　後記：欸......我後來有找到了拓荒者隊邀請work的名單， 附在底下讓大家看看囉！ The Portland Trail Blazers will be inviting several players to Portland this week to participate in draft workouts. The workout schedule for this week is as follows: Tues., May 18th Luke Jackson, Oregon Jameer Nelson, Saint Joseph's Marcus Moore, Washington State Lionel Chalmers, Xavier Wed., May 19th Rafael Araujo, Brigham Young Ha Seung-Jin, Korea Thur., May 20th Lawrence Roberts, Mississippi State Kirk Snyder, Nevada Delonte West, Saint Joseph's -- 也許我的觀點不是很正確，所以請有興趣的板友給我指正，謝謝！ --
