Nate's sense of Sergio Posted by Casey Holdahl February 23, 2007 11:37AM Interesting story from Kerry Eggers today about Sergio Rodriguez and the varying opinions the decision makers in the Trail Blazer organizational have of his game. The reactions from Nate McMillan, Kevin Pritchard and even Zach Randolph are, I feel, and indicator of where this team is going in the future. "Speed is definitely the way most teams are going," McMillan says. "The rules against hand-checking have forced teams to go after fast, versatile and athletic players who can create off the dribble and get to the basket. The game has gotten faster, especially in the West. Speed is in." McMillan says he likes both styles. "I prefer to push the ball, but be able to run a half-court offense," he says. "If you can do both, it definitely gives you an advantage. "We change tempo (going from Jack to Rodriguez). I don't know how effective Sergio would be, slowing him down and becoming a half-court player. His style goes with LaMarcus (Aldridge), Travis (Outlaw) and Martell (Webster), guys who get up and down the floor. But can he play that way with Zach? That was part of the problem with Sebastian (Telfair) and Zach. Zach is more effective in a half-court game." Randolph isn't so sure. He respects Jack and has no issue with him as the starter, "but I love Sergio's game, his style of play," Randolph says. "He reminds me of Steve Nash. He knows how to get the ball to people. I like to run, and he gets us going. He's got a lot to learn, but he's a good young player." ... "Sergio was this huge X factor for me," says Kevin Pritchard, director of player personnel. "When he was 17, I saw him miss a shot for a game-winner in a top-level pro game (in Spain), and I thought he was fearless. Nate's a tough, get-in-your face coach. He'll tell Sergio, 'You can't make that pass,' and I'll see Sergio get a look like, 'Don't tell me I can't do it.' I like that little confidence he has. "Everybody on the team loves playing with Sergio. I think we caught lightning in the bottle, and we got lucky with it. We have no idea how good this kid can be. I'm not sure what the ceiling is. Could he turn into a guy who affects the game at a high level? I have no doubt. He sees things other players don't see on the http://blog.oregonlive.com/blazers/2007/02/nates_sense_of_sergio.html McMillan覺得Sergio適合打全場進攻， 但McMillan喜歡使用半場進攻當拓荒者進攻模式 （或是說拓荒者目前比較適合這種進攻...） McMillan認為Sergio適合和Aldridge、Webster、Outlaw等人搭配為一組， 不適合和Zach Randolph打一組先發（這是我認為拓荒者目前最大的問題）， 但實際上？ Randolph說他喜歡Sergio的比賽，他讓他想到Steve Nash， Randolph也說：I like to run, and he gets us going. 看樣子他也不是很排斥速度較快的進攻模式。 接著讓數據來說話 http://www.82games.com/0607/06POR2B.HTM 這是Sergio的 http://www.82games.com/0607/06POR3B.HTM 這是Jack的 以Sergio的表現來看他和Randloph、Aldridge的搭配明明沒問題... 以Sergio為PG以Randolph為PF的幾個組合平均起來 也比Jack為PG以Randolph為PF的幾個組合數據還要來的好，無論攻擊守備都是， McMillan覺得Sergio不適合和Randolph搭的原因到底在哪裡？ 星座？血型？還是生辰八字？ 如果這樣下去我覺得Randolph在的一天McMillan恐怕不會讓Sergio打先發... 當然問題不見得是Zach Randolph造成的就是了... --
