http://tinyurl.com/qd2l5 01:27 AM CDT on Saturday, August 12, 2006 By CHUCK CARLTON / The Dallas Morning News Former first-round pick Ndudi Ebi will be among four free agents competing for a Mavericks roster spot at training camp in October. 小牛將在十月的訓練營中，從四個自由球員裡選出一個放進小牛的球員名單，身為前第一 輪選秀球員的 Ndudi Ebi 也在其中。 The players and the team have reached agreements on training camp contracts. 這些球員已經被小牛簽下來打訓練營。 Ebi, 22, will be joined by 6-5 swingman Pat Carroll, 23, and two point guards, 6-2 Darius Washington, 20, and 6-0 Juan Jose Barea, 22. The four are vying for the 15th and final spot on the roster, assuming the team does not sign a veteran. 22歲的 Ebi，將和六呎五吋的23歲搖擺人 Pat Carroll，以及兩個控球後衛：六呎二吋20 歲的 Darius Washington、六呎22歲的 Juan Jose Barea，一同參加（訓練營）。假如小 牛不再與任何老將簽約的話（大概是意指 Keith Van Horn 吧），他們四個將會競爭小牛 第15個也是最後一個球員位置。 "What you have are four young guys with upside who are worth investing in," president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. ”你擁有四個值得投資的年輕人，（要選擇對球隊）最有利的那一個。”（不太確定是否 這意思）小牛籃球事務部總理 Donnie Nelson 說。 Ebi, a 6-9 forward who played at Houston Westbury Christian, jumped to the NBA from high school. He was taken 26th by Minnesota in 2003, three spots ahead of Josh Howard. Ebi，一個六呎九吋的前鋒，高中就讀於 Houston Westbury Christian，直接跳級進入 NBA。他在 2003 年的第 26 順位被明尼蘇達選中，比 Josh Howard 還高了三個順位。 But he played just 19 games in two seasons before being released in November. Ebi spent last season with Fort Worth in the National Developmental League and attended Hakeem Olajuwon's big man camp in Houston this week. 但是他在（去年）十一月被釋出前的兩個球季中只打了 19 場比賽。上個球季 Ebi 都待 在 NBDL 的沃斯堡飛行家隊（也就是小牛所認養的發展聯盟球隊），並在這個星期參加了 由 Hakeem Olajuwon 在休士頓所舉辦的大傢伙夏令營。（XD）（Diop 跟 Mbenga 也有參 加喔^^） "I think Ndudi was too young, too unprepared for the NBA the first time," Olajuwon told the Houston Chronicle. "Now I see stronger, more confident moves. ... I think he's ready." ”我認為 Ndudi 第一次（挑戰 NBA）的時候還太年輕，太沒有準備，”Olajuwon 這麼對 休士頓紀事報說。”但是現在我看到他變得更強壯，更有信心...我想他已經準備好了。” The Mavericks also are intrigued by the point guards. Washington was undrafted after his sophomore year at Memphis, where he was a two-year starter in a strong program. A scorer first, Washington is still learning his position. 小牛也對 Washington 這名控衛感到興趣，他在曼菲斯大學打了兩年先發，有非常優秀的 表現，在二年級時參加選秀卻落選。身為得分優先（的球員），Washington 在他的位置 仍然要繼續學習。 Barea is a more traditional point guard. He excelled at Northeastern (2,290 career points) and was impressive in three appearances for Puerto Rico at the Global Games. He must prove he can play against NBA competition. Barea 是一名比較傳統的控衛。他在東北大學有突出的表現（生涯 2290 分）且在三次代 表波多黎各的國際賽中亮相並令人留下深刻的印象。他必須證明他能與 NBA 的對手進行 對抗。 Carroll, who played at St. Joseph's, is the younger brother of Charlotte's Matt Carroll and has a similar game – including a nice perimeter shot. He rebounded from a serious shoulder injury to average 16.4 points for Houston in the Vegas Summer League. Carroll，來自聖約瑟夫大學，是夏洛特山貓隊的 Matt Carroll 的弟弟，並且與他（的 哥哥）有著相類似的球風－包括不錯的外線投籃。他從一場嚴重的肩膀傷勢中恢復並在拉 斯維加斯夏季聯盟的休士頓火箭隊中得到平均 16.4　分。 -- 我想要 Ebi，Van Horn 大概是一定不會簽了，拜託球團不要再找控衛了，我們控衛還不 夠多嗎？Ebi 雖然身材差了點，不過這個位置是我們比較缺的啊，養養看吧！ --
